10 public structures that make use of salvaged wood

Salvaged wood, also known as recovered wood, is typically a by-product of a construction project or milling process. It can also include fallen trees and waste wood that has been discarded, perhaps destined for landfill or to burn for heating. Salvaged wood differs from reclaimed wood — wood that has been used previously and is then “reclaimed” from barns and old buildings as an example. However, the two terms are frequently used interchangeably. Recycled wood usually refers to wood that has been salvaged — this often comes from construction waste and fallen/damaged trees.  The use of salvaged wood (and reclaimed or recycled wood) helps to lessen demand for new timber, conserve natural resources, and minimize c...

Thew Talay hau hin

Parking Casino Aarau

Underground car parks can be architecturally confusing and do not offer a lot of free space. Darkness and missing guidance systems are reasons which lead to bad orientation for non-local drivers and increase the risk of accidents. The parking lot of some casino in Switzerland is well lit with Flexglo™ F15 LED lights. Unlike other spacious parking venues, this one is characterized by a shorter than normal height and a unique layout. To make the walls look longer than they appear, all the lights are installed vertically with a certain spacing. The designer went through many mockups and tests to get the best spacing between all the luminaires. This ingenious design not only enhances the aesthetics of the area, but also mitigates the anx...

Acting as a lens, the pavilion’s details are designed to emphasize the phenomenal qualities of the sun’s path throughout the day. A carefully diagrammed set of perforations along the overhead plane tracks the sun’s movement during the autumnal and vernal e... More
