The structure activates areas deeper in the forest and serves as a focal point for field research and community engagement. The structure’s creation included robotics applications, 3d scanning, CNC, storytelling, etc. The design featured Beachwood branches found and used in its original form. All the parts of the building could be flat-packed and delivered to a site for rapid assembly. The structural solution introduced post-tensioning of the spaceframe to achieve the compression-only performance of the round wood chords (branches).
