Laminated Wood Skyscraper, Brazil – Tomas Kozelsky, Patrick Bedarf, & Dimitrie Andrei Stefanescu
Located in the heart of the Amazon forest, the aim of the Laminated Wood Skyscraper is to provide a sustainable environment for recreation, research, and observation to educate visitors on the alarming rate of deforestation in it’s native Brazil. The framework of the structure consists of prefabricated laminated titan-wood elements that support floor plates and and prefab shipping containers. A network of embedded veins in the woodwork transport rainwater that is then collected, processed, and redistributed throughout the building.

“The small footprint and structurally strong geometry of these odd sub-cities make them more easily self-supporting. They are supposedly entirely sustainable and equipped to operate as autonomous cities that interact only selectively with their environments.”
