From a woodland primary school, a low-carbon community centre and a modular home in the wilderness of Scotland, through to a communal table for pounding fufu, this year’s Wood Awards shortlist reflects the versatility of timber. First established in 1971, the Wood Awards are the UK’s foremost competition celebrating outstanding architecture, structures, furniture items and objects made using wood. From more than two hundred entries, eighteen buildings and fifteen furniture projects were selected by a judging panel of leading architects, engineers, designers, artists, critics and sustainability experts. …“The Wood Awards is an incredibly high calibre award that provides a valuable opportunity to showcase UK designers, craftspeople and makers working in interesting ways with wood,” says Sebastian Cox, head of the Furniture & Object judging panel.
