A project to add a new lunch-house to an existing kindergarten. A pair of plain 6m-long timbers set in steel-base-plates and raised into place not facing one another. In order to increase the rigidity, the method of “pulling” is common, but here the strength was obtained by “twisting”. Reconsidering this approach to wood construction made us think that we were “braiding” timber rather than “building” it. The principle of braiding as primitive method, involves load distribution, friction, and tension. It's a modern architecture that intentionally employs the primitive.
