Marco Vermeulen builds manifesto for timber construction to combat climate change

The building is an attempt to show how architecture can combat climate change by opting for modular and removable wooden parts. Construction with wood also reduces CO2 in the atmosphere as trees extract CO2 from the air and in this way building with wood stores CO2 into a building. © Ronald Tilleman The pavilion deck is made from modular Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) parts that can later be removed and used in another building. CLT is a method were fast-growing wood is sawn and glued in perpendicular layers that create a large sheet with different thicknes... More
