The Neuman forest Environmental Learning Pavilions are a series of open air structures in a protected North Idaho forest. Arranged along a ridge line, the Pavilions immerse visiting individuals and educational groups in the ecological systems that surround them. The modular fir walls screen out the wind, create ever-changing patterns of light, and give cover to view passing deer and moose that frequent the area. Completed with a tight budget and schedule, the project models innovative solutions for circular construction, prefabrication, and resilient design strategies for at-risk environments.
