Existing Wood
Structures
Critique:
Moving these pieces allows the Pop up Box to range from about 20 to 30
square meters when open, and nine square meters when completely closed.
The materials of
the Box itself blend
with the outer
surroundings, while
still taking on their
own professional
look— walnut
finishes, natural
stone tiles, bright
concrete, and
black plating work together to provide a cohesive background for displayed
products.
Critique:
This structure is convenient for sellers but it cause several problems for those
who would use it, first of all it takes time to arrange, second the safety of the
customers and the sellers is questionable because it’s so open, third the security
in this structure is weak to because of its form, fourth if this structure would be
used in a open space the weather condition outside would have an effect on
the wood while if it is placed inside a mall or convention center the air
condition would also have an effect on the wood because the moisture
content of the wood could rise if there’s too much exposure.
Critique:
Critique:
The Wood Bridge is made up of wood so the weight capacity that the bridge
can handle would be minimal compare to steel because wood is weaker than
steel specially in carrying loads. The weather condition can also affect the
wood that could cause some deformation or fracture.

Sustainable Concepts
- Orientation and compactness
The south elevation possesses the biggest and best-protected openings against
summer sunrays. The studio opening is protected by 2mts of roof overhang that
prevent direct radiation during the hottest season. The big opening at the living
room is designed in line with the outer wall; therefore, a 1mt deep sunshade
overhang designed in wood is placed above it, to protect it from direct sunlight
during summer. The overhangs’ design and placement, allow the winter
sunrays to enter the interior spaces helping the heating of the same.
Critique:
This structure’s biggest problem would be termites that could damage this
structure, because it is located on a forest there is a big chance that termites
would eat up the wood if it is not well maintained by the owner.
