The Mass Timber pavilion, an observation deck, was designed by Spanish architect and Rice University professor Jesús Vassallo, along with a team formed by graduates Pouya Khadem and Lene Sollie. It is located in the biodiverse Rice University campus in Houston, within a restored watershed housing various microhabitats. Made of Cross Laminated Timber, this carbon-negative structure resembles a large furniture piece, showcasing the logic of its assembly. Photo César Béjar. Jesús Vassallo
