THE PROJECT

Four giant seeds to symbolize the grow and the potential of the future of a nation that wants to showcase its dynamism.
The complex structure of the seeds is created with Glulam, a laminated wood made with Malaysian rainforest timber.
The project took a long design phase to assemble different type of structures: concrete, steel and glulam.
