STRUCTURE of Nests
James Cutler • Paulk Residence“Construction was designed to create a minimal distubance of the forest. At one point, the roof and rafters were notched to preserve a tree.”
Grain Storage BuildingThis vernacular builing, now an abandoning, in Otter Tail County, Minnesota, was built with wood, celebrating time passed through grayed and patched materials
Marlon Blackwell • Moore HoneyHouseBlackwall called this “a volumetric response to the confluence of natural and rational processes,”addressing a number of hive conditions of varied transparencies.
Renzo Piano • New CaledoniaWood slatting remarks these structures designed, like birds’ nests, to be absorbed into the landscape, incorporating wind, light, and vegetation.
Nest • Great Blue HeronThe nest expresses a dwelling that is adaptable to its environment over time, yet still transcends time, and one that is seasonally subject to these factors. This translates into an architecture that is organic, meeting the needs of the human dweller yet still retaining the meaning of the place, and also instrumental in defining the place as perceived by the human occupant. nestinG

m i GratinGI went to the Woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and to see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. ~Thoreau
