Examples
At AHEC we strive to influence the way people think about hardwood as a material. We have seen a revolution in timber use and it is creating new opportunities. Many hardwoods have a performance that can’t be ignored, which can provide huge benefits to designers, architects and engineers. This is something we communicate through our own creative projects, capture in our case studies of work from others and demonstrate through examples of use; providing new and exciting references of how American hardwoods are the perfect material in terms of form and function.
If you would like to submit a case study or example of American hardwoods in use, please europe [at] americanhardwood.org (subject: case%20study%20%2F%20example) (get in touch).
Experimental collaborations with creative partners to push the boundaries of what American hardwoods are capable of: structurally, aesthetically and environmentally.
Work from others, demonstrating the performance benefits of American hardwoods around the globe.
