Harbouring History
and Nurturing Nature:







Simpson & Brown's Rye Harbour Discovery Centre

Unstructured 10 arrives after another break with a basketful of wide ranging and thought-provoking features, and a whole new element in the ecology of Fourth Door’s web presence.

This new edition accompanies the relaunch of Annular, Fourth Door’s wood culture and timber web-portal, including Annular Unstructured, the portal’s timber magazine section. This first edition is focused on Switzerland’s dynamic timber engineering, architecture, and materials scene.

Alongside Annular, Unstructured 10 features several wood hued pieces including Simpson & Brown’s new Rye Harbour Discovery Centre, the return of Iceland’s forests, and four wood-world reviews of Richard Power’s Pulitzer Prize winning testament to the wild trees, The Overstory. Further features include New York’s experimental digital mycology studio The Living and Heilbronn’s BUGA project, Germany’s first eco-district in decades, a review of Indian architect Anupama Kundoo’s recent Taking Time exhibition. Plus, in the research section, Jürg Conzett on the Grubenmann Brothers.
