Project name: Lakefront Kiosk Architects: Yasmin Vobis & Aaron Forrest Location: Lakefront Trail, Chicago, IL 60605, USA Project year: 2015 Project name: timer canopy in Chile Architects: Josep Ferrando + Diego Baloian Location: Curacaví, Chile Project year: 2016 Project name: Lincoln Park Zoo South Pond Architects: Studio Gang Architects Location: Chicago, Illinois, USA Project year: 2010 Project Area: 4 Acres Other information: • Cross laminated timber (CLT)- strong engineered wood formed by gluing lumber layers together at right angles to each other. • CLT is usually used for high rise buildings or in this case it is used to achieve long spans. • The roof is held by only 13 columns. • The viewing platform and vending kiosk are suspended from the roof using chain-link fencing without any additional supports. • The columns connect to the roof using steel tongue plate bolted to the columns, which passes through a slot in the CLT (CLT is recessed for the plate to sit flush with the surface on which DPM and gravel goes on top.) • The columns themselves are glulam sections, held off the ground by a similar tongue plate at the base.

Other information: • The entire structure consists of pine lumber. • Strips of lumber are 50x203mm and is arranged in the manner of a textile mill supported by compression by a 90mm diameter steel tube that crosses and articulates the pieces. • This geometry confers the project a dynamic quality, making it seem paused in movement. • There is also some sort of foundation to which the steel plate is fixed to, on 6 nuts Project name: Sticks Architects: Hou de sousa Location: Socrates sculpture park, NYC Project year: 2016 Source: The Architectural League of New York. 2018.

Other information: • This pavilion is a competition winner for temporary installations mainly built from scarp lumber. • Part of the roof construction sits on top of the shipping container which provides structural support and thereby reduces costs. • The minimal space meets the functional needs, providing sheltered environment that also acts as storage and display. • Materials were selected on the criteria of ease, speed, and clarity of construction. • Douglas Fir lumber was used that is relatively cheap and long term durability was achieved using small strips of concrete slabs which provide a sufficient structural foundation. • The webbing that binds the lumber together projects outwards at the facade so as to support an assortment of linear materials.

ROOF JUNCTION DETAIL FOUNDATION JUNCTION DETAIL Other information: • The pavilion is made from prefabricated glulam members and interconnected fiberglass pods. • This pavilion was inspired by the tortoise shell, and its geometry required each structural beam to be bent on three axes. • The structures’ span is about 9 meters, in which twelve steel hinges on either side of the foundations form the base. • Not only the structure is fastened with screws and bolt but also nail plates were used for constructing each dome which can be seen in the picture to the left. • Glulam timber- is a type of structural engineered wood which consist of a number of layers of dimensioned lumber bonded together with durable, moisture-resistant structural adhesives.
