"The design uses a system of horizontal timber shoring to create a protected interior volume with seating. The porous enclosure allows light and breeze to filter through while allowing views to the campus and greenspace beyond." – Bush Bohlman⁠

Borrowing on ideas explored in Peter Zumthor’s Sound Pavilion at Expo 2000, C-SHORE was constructed of stacked western red cedar felled and milled from a nearby residential site. Beyond it’s wonderful olfactory experience, the variegated bands of stacked wood create a dynamic multi-sensory encounter, whereby the inhabitant’s interaction varies with the their line of sight and position in space. ⁠

Imagine you are walking across a bustling university campus on a warm, beautiful sunny day. As you pass through one of the busiest nodes on campus, you come upon what looks like a wood pile, but one that is inviting you to approach it. Crossing a diagonal wood ramp and through an opening in the stack, you are welcomed by the fragrance of western red cedar while the sounds of tall grasses in a light breeze replace the noise of the surrounding campus. This place exists and it is called C-SHORE, a wood pavilion and place of respite designed and constructed by graduate students at UBC SALA. ⁠

Conceived as a repeatable experimental model for mass-produced housing, Melnikov House is composed of two large interlocking cylinders of equal diameter. The street-facing facade is marked by a large vertical expanse of glass, while the rear facade is perforated with no less than 64 hexagonal windows, allowing sunlight to enter the space no matter the direction of the sun.

Melnikov believed that the essence of his house lay in the balance and equivalence of weight, light, air, and heat. The original layout, elegant spatial arrangement, and ingenious engineering techniques are combined in a unique architectural form that still looks modern.

The Melnikov House, designed by architect Konstant

The Melnikov House, designed by architect Konstantin Melnikov for himself and his family, is an icon of the Russian architectural avant-garde. The experimental cylindrical structure was built between 1927 and 1929 to test Melnikov’s concepts for mass-produced housing.⁠
