This review covered the previous semester's work with green oak, the site and context, program, research, living building challenge, sustainable strategies, materials, details, and landscape. Having a team of 12 students and a knowledgeable, passionate professor has allowed us to get so much work done. The design is nearly finished and the construction drawings constructions specifications will be finished by our next review on the 20th of April.
The Green Oak Initiative is a proposal by the University of Tennessee to develop contemporary green (un-dried) oak construction techniques for the US building market. This initiative will allow currently underutilized heart-centers of logs to be used as an extremely low energy, carbon friendly, beautiful, and high value wood product - as structural members in sustainable buildings.
