Wood is ...<br />
With softness originating from<br />
nature, once brought out, wood<br />
requires regular maintenance<br />
by human hands. Whether<br />
intentional or not, it introduces<br />
the idea of ordinariness to<br />
architecture. It uncovers what<br />
has, until recently, been blindly<br />
handled behind—a tangible<br />
plot between nature, humans,<br />
technology, time, and cycles in<br />
a single project.<br />

Time Passages<br />

transformed three old rice<br />
barns into a collection of<br />
buildings, ‘Atelier VELA’,<br />
featuring exhibition spaces<br />
and recreational areas that<br />
reflect an entwined dialogue<br />
between architecture and its<br />
surroundings.<br />
