When you chop down trees how can that ever be considered sustainable? They don't grow again in five minutes, especially to the size needed for this project.

Those big columns (if that's what you referring) are actually concrete but with wood panels on the external for aesthetic. The wood would have to be sourced from a sustainable source certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. FSC runs a global certification system with 2 key components - forest management and chain of custody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sead Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Only in Thailand there's would take engineers to figure out it's an fire risk.

CLW Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Should use composite wood panels made from wood scraps to cover the concrete pillars and other structure. It's sustainable and also the fire hazard is reduced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossy Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 3 hours ago, Ossy said: The architect is clearly a lover of Paragon Puzzles (of old) who designed and made beautiful wooden brain-teasers that kept me quiet for hours. As for these shapes being the inspiration of an airport terminal design, I have two issues. One, the inevitably high cost of making and erecting a wooden structure, like the one pictured, and two, the mind-numbing task of keeping such a structure clean or had the architect got some cunning dust-prevention device hiding amongst all those blocks? Expensive, impractical and utterly unnecessary for a building that people want to spend as little time in as possible. Erratum: How could I forget the name of my favourite puzzle supplier. They are called Pentangle, a south Wales company, now closed due to bereavement. Their ground-breaking Devil's Halo wire and string puzzle I managed with comparative ease, but their Ball & Chain - also wire and string - had me beat . . . most exasperating.

All over Japan structures are wood to safeguard damage in earthquakes. They don't get burnt down. Japan is Japan.... THIS IS THAILAND.... Mental Attitude is a tad different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Dude Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Wooden design like this is asking for it and a disaster. What are they thinking? Looks pretty but wait until there is a big screw up...only somewhere like here would this be even considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 They didn't take into account it'll never be wood but a concrete fake. Guaranteed since some one can pocket the difference in costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayned Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Actually building large buildings with Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) is getting more popular. It has it advantages - ;lighter, longer unsupported spans, flexible but is costly. It can be made fire retardant and bug resistant during construction. It is basically just thick "plywood".

Kiwiken Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 30 years ago when working in the Security Industry in NZ I guarded a prototype Wooden Warehouse which thanks to treatment was said to be less Fire risk than concrete and steel building. Why then could not this be true of this Airport development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
