Good Evening, SuperForest!
Check out this amazing piece of architecture!
Designed and constructed by German Architect Matthias Loebermann, this temporary pavillion was built in 2005 for the Nordic Alpine Skiing World Championship in Oberstdorf, Germany.

It was made entirely from 1300 shipping pallets and held together with tie rods and pull straps. The pavillion was used as a meeting place and media room for the athletes competing in the championship. Apparently they dismantled and recycled the structure after the event, however I think this would be a pretty amazing permanent structure if it could survive in a particular climate without any major damage.

Upon further research into this subject, I discovered that there is a lot to read out there on “palletecture”. So search away, SuperForesters! Let’s learn more about sustainable building ideas! Incidentally, SuperForester Julius and SuperForester Jackson have also expressed their love of upcycling pallets:

Yours in love with this gorgeous piece of art,
