Timber Fever 2017
The Event
"Life in a big city is full of activity, excitement and energy. Cities are our homes, the centre of our economies, our sources of entertainment and culture. Our cities shape us and we shape them. And within every city lies hidden potential for re-imagining spaces. In the 2016 edition, students were tasked with designing and building an Urban Refuge – a private space where at least one person can sit or stand in to disconnect from the rush of urban life, and find peace for a few minutes.
Our mission is to create collaboration between students of architecture and engineering, while developing design, construction and communication skills that will be invaluable to your future careers. We are passionate about designing and building with wood and want to share all the positive attributes of this wonderful material."
