C3 358 Live/work Hybrids Recovering Wood

This instalment investigates two main themes: “Live/Work Hybrids” and “Recovering Wood”. In the first, seven small office projects are examined that raise questions about how working space will be organized in the future. With advancements in communications technology, Fraher Architects, Carlo Bagliani, Akitoshi Ukai and others demonstrate the office block’s possible demise. Also, wood is back in fashion. Projects by Shigeru Ban, Gensler, HAMR and more show its recovery as a contemporary building material, revealing the motives for this renewed interest, like technological discoveries and softening the encounter between our natural and built environment.
