Many researchers have found that the Biophilia Effect, a preference for natural materials, is significant for our well-being, leading to better learning rates, lower blood pressure, reduced stress. Perhaps that’s why this new business incubator building at Australia’s Macquarie University designed by Architectus looks like such a lovely place. It has it all; patterns, views, daylighting and of course, our favorite material, wood. According to the architects, Timber was selected as the main construction material for its capacity to be beautifully engineered, swiftly fabricated to high quality, and for its potential for future dis-assembly and relocation, with the majority of components prefabricated offsite to ensure rapid construction on site and minimal disruption to the concurrent university semester. The resulting building was completed within five months of construction commencing.
