TREATMENT FOR WOOD USED
OUTDOORS..
Why does wood need to be treated?
Wood will decay if temperature, oxygen, and moisture are not controlled. The simplest way
to prevent biological deterioration is to keep wood dry. However, this is not practical for
outdoor structures. Where temperature, oxygen,
and moisture cannot be entirely controlled, use of decay-resistant wood species and/or
woods treated with preservatives is the only option to prevent wood deterioration.

The Geométricas Hot Springs, or Cajón Negro, as they used to be
called, are the result of an ambitious project carried out by
architect, Germán del Sol.
17 pools have been created with red wooden paths and ramp.

The wooden footbridge that passes through the center allows one to look around the
ravine and choose one’s favorite pool in which to bathe.
Close to every pool there is a wooden pavilion with private bathrooms, locker rooms,
and a deck for resting
Under the footbridge, which is about 1,476 ft. long (450 m), the thermal waters flow into
the pools through a wooden channel that directs the water.
Around these springs, there’s meeting place, ‘’quincho’’, assembled of pure wood, where one
can sit and chat with friends after a refreshing bath. It’s a covered and warm space around
an open fire.
The lighting is unobtrusive and allows one to experience the natural darkness of the
environment as it is, while providing the required minimum illumination for safe
circulation.
The geometry highlights the natural and separates it from the built.

"The Pavilion is designed as a Pavilion from a fascinating variety of sources
wooden timber structure that including the elaborate wooden catapults
acts as an urban street running designed by Leonardo Da Vinci as well as the
striped walls of summer beach huts.

“…Inside the Pavilion,
glass canopies are hung
from the wooden structure
to protect the interior
from wind and rain and
provide for shade during
sunny days…”
“…The Pavilion is
much like an
amphitheater,
designed to serve as
a place for live
events, music,
performance,
discussion and
debate…”

"Our proposal for the project starts by
declaring the site as an open public space
and proposes to have the roof of the
building as an open plaza. The project is
then generated from a circulation diagram
that aspires to eliminate the linear
structure characteristic of piers, and the
directionality of the circulation."

The brief of the Yokohama
International Port Terminal
asked for the articulation of a
passenger cruise terminal and
a mix of civic facilities for the
use of citizens in one
building.
The project is a mediating device between
the system of public spaces and the
management of the cruise ship passenger
flow.
Rather than a symbolic figure or object, the
structure materializes a state of union
between land and water
The structure doesn’t follow the
conventional column and beam
system. Instead, it uses
interlocking steel plates at
inclination to one another as a
result of which the plates fold up to
form the different levels. This also
copes with the lateral forces
generated by seismic movements
that affect the Japanese
topography.
