The Hive design relies on a honeycomb structural system built with prefabricated mass-timber pods that are arranged in an alternating pattern similar to other efficient, high-strength structures commonly found in nature and occurring at a cellular level in timber and other plant forms.
This poster is one of a selection of entries from the TREEHOUSING International Wood Design Competition that was run by FAO and DBR | Design Build Research School on the occasion of the XIV World Forestry Congress in Durban, South Africa, in September 2015.The competition challenged architecture students, professional architects and designers to develop innovative and sustainable wood housing and urban building solutions.
