BARED
LOCATION: CALGARY, ALBERTA
TYPE: MASS TIMBER
PHASE: SENIOR RESEARCH STUDIO
Projected Sun path
Bared” living with the exposed”, is an ongoing exploration of building
performance with mass timber.The building proposes an argument of
intersection of passive strategies with mass timber solutions in order
to encourage and support healthy living, thus making a case for mass
timber as an alternate sustainable building material
The project also focuses on integration of Prefabricated wood components
which can help to solve many design and engineeringchallenges
producing a multitude of benefits, including process efficiency.Bared
tries to incorporates naturalelements in the built environment, such as
wood, sunlight and plants within the realm of mass timber architectural
systems.
