Other recipients of the Wood Design Awards include
projects by Brian MacKay-Lyons
and Will Bruder, with most of the projects in Canada and in
the United States near the border. This predominance of projects
to the north indicates the abundance of trees as a means for
wood construction, but also wood's potential to create architecture
fitting to these regions. Realizing this potential informs
a consideration that the use of naturally-occurring materials
near a building's site helps to ground a building in its place
and also create architecture that is appropriate and potentially
meaningful.
