TREATMENT FOR WOOD USEDOUTDOORS..


3/51

Why does wood need to be treated?Wood will decay if temperature, oxygen, and moisture are not controlled. The simplest wayto prevent biological deterioration is to keep wood dry. However, this is not practical foroutdoor structures. Where temperature, oxygen,and moisture cannot be entirely controlled, use of decay-resistant wood species and/orwoods treated with preservatives is the only option to prevent wood deterioration.

What form of deterioration can take place?Decrease of strength due to faults.Absorption of water, thereby causing warping.Raised grainShelling

So how is treatment done?Wood is treated with copper and arsenic forced into the grain inside high-pressurecylinders. Because the chemicals are fixed in the wood and don't leach out, pressure-

treated wood is safe to use in vegetable gardens.Wood preservative contains chemicals that kill the fungi and insects that discolor ordestroy wood.A water repellent is a penetrating wood finish loaded with oils or waxes designed toprevent water from soaking into wood.

After wood is properly treated with any waterborne-preservative-treatment process, it is

re-dried (kiln dried or air dried).

SOME PROJECTS..

The Geomtricas Hot Springs, or Cajn Negro, as they used to becalled, are the result of an ambitious project carried out byarchitect, Germn del Sol.

He strived to create a harmonic balance between nature andgeometry by constructing the hot springs from mainly wood andraw materials.

These hot springs are characterized by an abundant number ofthermal fountains, around 60 in all. They spring from the Aihu

ravine at temperatures of 176F (80C).

17 pools have been created with red wooden paths and ramp.

26/51

The wooden footbridge that passes through the center allows one to look around theravine and choose ones favorite pool in which to bathe.

Close to every pool there is a wooden pavilion with private bathrooms, locker rooms,and a deck for resting


27/51

Under the footbridge, which is about 1,476 ft. long (450 m), the thermal waters flow intothe pools through a wooden channel that directs the water.


28/51

Around these springs, theres meeting place, quincho, assembled of pure wood, where onecan sit and chat with friends after a refreshing bath. Its a covered and warm space aroundan open fire.


29/51

The lighting is unobtrusive and allows one to experience the natural darkness of theenvironment as it is, while providing the required minimum illumination for safecirculation.

"The Pavilion is designed as awooden timber structure thatacts as an urban street runningfrom the park to the existingGallery

Gehry and his team took inspiration for thisPavilion from a fascinating variety of sources

including the elaborate wooden catapultsdesigned by Leonardo Da Vinci as well as the

striped walls of summer beach huts.


34/51

Inside the Pavilion,glass canopies are hung

from the wooden structureto protect the interiorfrom wind and rain andprovide for shade duringsunny days


35/51

The Pavilion ismuch like anamphitheater,designed to serve as

a place for liveevents, music,performance,discussion anddebate

As the visitor walks through thePavilion they have access to

terraced seating on both sides ofthe urban street...


36/51

In addition to the terraced seating there arefive elevated seating pods, which are accessedaround the perimeter of the Pavilion. These podsserve as visual markers enclosing the street andcan be used as stages, private viewing platformsand dining areas."


37/51

Part amphitheatre, part promenade, theseseemingly random elements will make atransformative place for reflection andrelaxation by day, and discussion andperformance by night.


38/51

The structure is anchored by four massivesteel columns and is comprised of largetimber planks and a complex network of

overlapping glass planes that create adramatic, multi-dimensional space.

"Our proposal for the project starts bydeclaring the site as an open public spaceand proposes to have the roof of thebuilding as an open plaza. The project is

then generated from a circulation diagramthat aspires to eliminate the linearstructure characteristic of piers, and thedirectionality of the circulation."FOA

The brief of the YokohamaInternational Port Terminal

asked for the articulation of apassenger cruise terminal anda mix of civic facilities for the

use of citizens in onebuilding.


44/51


45/51

The project is a mediating device betweenthe system of public spaces and the

management of the cruise ship passengerflow.Rather than a symbolic figure or object, thestructure materializes a state of unionbetween land and water


46/51

The structure doesnt follow the

conventional column and beamsystem. Instead, it usesinterlocking steel plates atinclination to one another as aresult of which the plates fold up toform the different levels. This alsocopes with the lateral forces

generated by seismic movementsthat affect the Japanesetopography.

In addition to the structuraladvantage of this technique, itcontributes to the architecturallanguage of the building- it gives a

sense of continuity.


47/51

This sense of continuity is essential to thedesign.

The site had a pivotal role along the city'swater front that, if declared a publicspace, would present Yokohama City with

a continuous structure of open publicspaces along the waterfront.

There is a continuity of the exterior to theinterior; a continuity between the levels; acontinuity of the natural landscape ontothe roof of the terminal.


48/51

A reduced palette ofmaterials, detailsand finishesemphasizes the

projects objective ofperforming afunctional andconceptuallyinnovative role inthe creation oftransitional spaces.


49/51

All secondary system that are applied tothe steel topography, mainly wood-deckflooring system, glazing system andfencing/handrail system use a singledetail along the length of the building and

only vary to explore the geometricalvariation across spaces. The ambitionwas to construct continuous butdifferentiated spaces along the length ofthe pier.
