WOOD: HARSH CLIMATE COMFORT & FUNCTION

摘要

What does a thoughtful architect do when nature deals a punishing hand? She bows to the conditions and delivers a design that makes the most of the land and environment. Such was the challenge before the design team at Marcy Wong Donn Logan Architects of Berkeley, Calf. They were asked by the USDA Forest Service to create a regional headquarters for the Mojave Rivers Ranger District in Acton,'Calf. After carefully investigating the environmental challenges and owner requirements, the design team specified wood to anchor the design aesthetic. "Wood is one of our favorite materials due to its beauty, versatility, and sustainability," co-designer and firm principal Marcy Wong, AIA, explains.
