SOLAR CLOUD, STUDIO IN THE WOODS 2006
BATH

TEAM LEADERS: KATE DARBY AND GIANNI BOTSFORD

PARTICIPANTS WERE ASKED TO CONSTRUCT THE SPACE BETWEEN TREES. THE RESULTING STRUCTURE USED PLANKS CUT FROM 5 NO. 4M LARCH LOGS. IT WAS BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP FROM WITHIN, WITH THE STRUCTURE ACTING AS ITS OWN SCAFFOLDING. THE PLANKS ARE PUSHED AGAINST THE TREE STEMS. THEY ARE HELD APART BY WEDGES AND KEPT IN PLACE BY LARCH PEGS. THERE ARE NO MECHANICAL FIXINGS NOR ANY FIXINGS INTO THE TREES.

STUDIO IN THE WOODS IS AN ANNUAL DESIGN AND MAKE COLLABORATIVE WORKSHOP. KATE DARBY IS A TUTOR AND FOUNDER MEMBER. FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THIS YEAR'S EVENT CLICK HERE
