UrbanLab designed the exhibit “REFRAMED: The Future of Cities in Wood” for the Chicago Architecture Center. The exhibit tells the story of building with mass timber and features architectural models of mass timber projects from around the world, from public spaces to office buildings and adaptive reuse to new construction. This exhibition explores the many positive aspects of building with mass timber, including sustainability and safety. It also reflects on biophilia, the human instinct to seek connections with nature. Biophilic design centered around the use of wood creates aesthetically pleasing environments and has been proven to promote well-being and positive mental health benefits among occupants. REFRAMED features a learning pavilion constructed from mass timber, as well as a striking visual demonstration of the superior ability of mass timber to withstand fire. UrbanLab closely collaborated with the Chicago Architecture Center (CAC) and SPAN.
