Every two years, the Federation of Swiss Architects FSA awards a single research grant, resulting in a publication and a travelling exhibition supported by the Architectural Council of Switzerland.
In his project, Lukas Ingold, recipient of the sixth FSA research grant, explores the diverse processing methods for wood and their potential for architecture. The use of high-performance building materials such as moulded plywood opens up many new design possibilities, particularly with regard to environmental architecture. The research focuses on architectural issues as well as historical, ecological, economic, technical, and cultural considerations. It thereby establishes an alternative perspective on building with wood.
