PLAIN is a design-build collective that constructs ordinary buildings from engineered lumber. It presents the pedagogy of “design-build” teaching as a means to challenge student’s expectations of the nature of architectural work.
PLAIN Design-Build presents XX-LAM – The architecture of curved, cross-laminated timber in a Nine Square Grid.
