The Redivider was an architectural installation from architects Stride Treglown that challenged visitors to explore emotions associated with social media, translating the digital world into a physical experience.
The installation, created for this year's London Festival of Architecture, consisted of a series of movable panels within a timber frame, with no specific entrance or defined route. Finding a path through the structure was down to individual choice, encountering others was inevitable.
With Taylor Maxwell's experience in timber products and construction, the team at Stride Treglown approached us to consult and collaborate on the design of the 6.5 x 6.5m pavilion. Working closely with the project team, Taylor Maxwell was able to assist with the supply and delivery of the glulam timber frame, including all machining and detailing, from concept to completion within just 6 weeks.
Glulam is fast becoming the product of choice for innovative architects and timber framers looking to push the boundaries of aesthetics and function.
The engineered timber product offers enhanced stability and strength compared to traditional building methods, with a variety of grades and finishes. Its' multi-layer, laminate form resists deflection, making it well suited to large sections of beams, pillars and curvilinear designs not achievable with single-piece applications.
