The International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (IABR) 2024
Where The Trees Go is an animated piece by Studio Bark that illustrates the timber life cycle and carbon sequestration scenarios.
The piece will be presented at Nature Of Hope, the International Architecture Biennale Rotterdam (IABR) which is open from 29th June to 13th October 2024 at the New Institute Rotterdam.
‘Where the Trees Go…’ portrays timber’s diverse uses, representing the carbon storage potential of these flows over time. The piece reflects the present situation - ‘business as usual’- alongside an ambitious future scenario where a greater proportion of timber is directed to enduring uses.
This ambitious scenario maps out a situation in which timber’s lifecycle can contribute more significantly to carbon sequestration and mitigation of global heating. The piece invites viewers to engage with the current reality of how timber is consumed, while considering how we might use timber more wisely.
