TO THE SKY, PULLMAN- MOSCOW REGIONAL AIRPORT

PULLMAN, WA

Materiality was the most integral of this project as it was to be submited to the IFPC Wood Competition. This airport ia a large-span glulam building overlooking the runway and the aeroplanes as it takes flight. The intricate pattern of the timber roof attracts you to look up to the sky as soon as you enter the space. The low ceiling at the entrance compresses you to highlight the gradeur of air travel which is forgotten my most. It takes a simple approach to achieve both natural lighting and ventilation in the main entrance/lobby space. As one of the main entry points into Pullman, WA and Moscow, ID, the building expresses in its form and materility the essence of this place.

The use of timber as structure and form-giver is integral to the aims of the design. It reinforces the materiality and its connection to the surrounding being that the wood is locally sourced.The repetitive building modules helps it acheive a open footprint, allowing for flexible internal planning with minimal columns.
