"The Wood Program explores the technical and architectural properties of wood, providing a thorough and all-round view on the whole chain of wood construction, beginning with the tree in the forest and ending up with an experimental wooden building."
The images show the fabrication of a sauna. The wooden structure is made of pre-assembled elements, to be mounted on-site.
