Garden Group - First Material Pickup

The people at Dixie Plywood & Lumber Company were kind enough to donate a ton of material for our container project.

The crew for today's pickup: Scott Capon, Matt Bannon, Justin Jablonski, Briana Johnson, and Ryan Melville.

Two forklifts were used in a combined effort to get all of the wood loaded into our truck.

Nelsy at Dixie Plywood & Lumber worked with Justin to put all of this together. Thanks Nelsy!

Tim works at Dixie Plywood & Lumber and helped us get all of the wood loaded into the truck. Thanks Tim!

Some of the wood was a little too long to fit in the truck.

The sand blasted container is started to get a nice patina.

All of the wood is stored and ready to go.





 

Look at all that wood!

      This building by Renzo Piano Building Workshop has some very elegant connections of different materials. The overall form of the building is interesting and lends itself well to a science center. The vegetative roof system is a great way to combine the landscape with the building. I think this type of system could be interesting if applied to a shipping container project as well. I would like to investigate ways that a vegetative roof could help with insulation as well as collecting rainwater for building utility uses.
