Lignum-Pavilion

Frei + Saarinen Architekten were asked to design an exhibition pavilion that shows a contemporary use of wood for architectural purposes.
The Lignum-Pavilion is not more than a walkable pile of 20 layers that consist of 50mm-thick planes and vertical elements of 130mm height. Similar to a pixelated image, these 20 layers form an architectural body that leads the visitors through a promenade architecturale in the shape of a spatial "figure eight".
All 541 wooden pieces are cut by a cnc mill.

Designer: Frei + Saarinen Architekten (Switzerland)
Manufacturer: Schilliger Holz AG (Switzerland)
Inspired By: the visible human project
Material: wood
Dimension: 9mx8mx3.5m
