Rolling Summer House by Charlie Whinney, sixixis, 2006, featured in CCANW's Timber Talent South West exhibition, 26 April-13 July
Last year, CCANW launched Wood Culture – an ambitious year-long festival celebrating the beauty, usefulness and sustainability of wood and exploring its many uses in contemporary architecture and design.
Timber Talent South West, one of five exhibitions organised during the year, features CCANW’s selection of sixteen of the most inspiring recent examples of the use of timber in contemporary architecture.
Its South West focus includes both recent innovative timber buildings from the region and timber structures made elsewhere in the UK by SW based practices, documented by photographs, plans and models.
