10 Innovative Cabins That Experiment With Their Materials


Copy
While the traditional image of the cabin is one of a rustic wooden home located far away from any trace of society, architects have been experimenting with these conventions alongside newer material and technological considerations to push the boundaries of the ‘cabin’ today. Whether it is by reimagining the aesthetics of the cabin, or by utilizing advanced fabrication techniques to modernize the rustic, or even by reconfiguring the log cabin for the city setting, architects and designers have utterly transformed traditional cabin architecture for a more contemporary existence. Below, we consider 10 innovative cabins that achieve this transformation through experiments with different materials and construction technologies. While each explore different strategies and functions, many share similarities in their use of prefabrication systems, in their dedication to sustainability, and in their close attention to and optimization of specific material properties. ....

Dezeen's top 10 carbon-neutral buildings of 2020


Dezeen s top 10 carbon-neutral buildings of 2020
The snow-white, shingle-clad Hotel Bauhofstrasse in Ludwigsburg was built to be the first carbon-neutral building in the town.
Though its base is made of concrete, the building was constructed from wooden modules, which Von M claims off-set the use of the carbon-intense concrete.
In total, 440 cubic metres of wood were used, thus permanently extracting a total of 880 tons of CO2 through storage and substitution effects, the studio said.
Dutch studio Powerhouse Company will moor its off-grid Floating Office, which will be carbon-neutral and self-sufficient, on the waters of the Maas River in Rotterdam.
The timber building will have solar panels and a water-based heat-exchange system and was designed to be an example of climate-resilient office design . ....

Margent Farm in Cambridge, England explores the myriad uses of hemp plants – from beauty to architecture
The ’Flat House’ at Margent Farm made of ’hempcreate’ created from the farm’s own hemp crop.
Tucked away in England’s Cambridgeshire is a 53-acre farm developing what may well be the material innovation of the future – hemp.
Margent Farm was developed in 2018 as a rural centre dedicated to promoting the positive environmental uses of the hemp plant. The wellness and cosmetic benefits of hemp have long been known in the beauty industry, as evidenced by the continued popularity of CBD, CBA, and other hemp-based products in recent years. ....
