Students in WSE 425\/525, Timber Tectonics in the Digital Age<\/a>, recently assembled their prototype for a covered park shelter in the Peavy Forest Science Center Atrium. The course is a collaboration between OSU\u2019s Department of Wood Science and Engineering<\/a> and U of O\u2019s Department of Architecture<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Co-led by OSU\u2019s Mariapaola Riggio<\/a> and UO\u2019s Nancy Cheng, the course explores timber structural systems and creates new technical and design possibilities using digital techniques, modeling and tools.<\/p>\n\n\n

This year, students partnered with the city of Salem to create a prototype for a covered structure or shelter for a park. Permanent shelters are expensive and a cheaper alternative that can be deployed quickly is in great demand. Inspired by the circular economy, students were charged with creating a design which minimizes waste, uses components cut from scraps and promotes reuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the support of TallWood Design Institute<\/a> and material donated from Roseburg Forest Products, the class first built a scale model and then a prototype at Oregon State\u2019s A.A. \u201cRed\u201d Emmerson Advanced Wood Products Lab. The structure uses a bottom-up, kit-like approach and is designed for disassembly. The components are interconnected using wood-to-wood joints and include engineered wood panels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prototype is on display in the College of Forestry’s George W. Peavy Forest Science Center atrium through the month of March, watch a timelapse of the assembly<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
