Discover information on new products, innovations, and techniques in wood and other materials for modern architecture and construction.
Curved wood installation on outdoor walls and soffits blends technical innovation with natural aesthetics. This article covers three methods —faceting, pre-curved panels, and in situ bending— used in projects such as the Moody Center, designed by Gensler and built with Parklex Prodema panels.
The SFJ6 project in the Puente de Vallecas eco-neighborhood is known for its sustainable approach to affordable housing. Wood in ceilings and facades, combined with responsible materials, creates warm spaces and promotes social interaction, enhancing the quality of life in this groundbreaking urban development.
The faceted facade of the Tianjin Juilliard School provides a perfect example of how natural wood panels can be integrated into facades with complex geometries. Expansion joints and other key factors are essential for achieving precision that accounts for material expansion and contraction.
Thanks to technological advancements in construction and architecture, natural wood can achieve levels of durability comparable to other contemporary materials without requiring constant and costly maintenance. Here, we review the wood options available for outdoor use in the market.
