WOOD ON THE PLAZA

So… during the last , our interdisciplinary team of faculty and graduate students have been working together to produce a timber grid shell as part of a public exhibition on wood architecture and engineering at UMass. The intent of the exhibition is to build local enthusiasm for the new UMass Design building, while at the same time to educate the public on recently constructed wood high rises (tall timber), cutting-edge wood research at UMass, as well as the sustainable aspects of wood.
