This thesis contributes to a reapportioning of wood in architectural construction and offers an economical solution that creates symbiosis between forestry and architecture. The proposal is situated in the context of Sweet Home Oregon, a former logging community. Like many rural towns across the United States, rural poverty rates average around 15%. One in five families earns less than the federal poverty threshold. Ecologically, Sweet Home is unstable too. Nearly three quarters of the original forests have disappeared due to mismanagement. Through a close reading of the mutual relationships between forestry and wood construction, this proposal demonstrates a series of wood construction techniques to repair housing and restore forest habitat. The techniques provide accessible and economical systems of framing and take advantage of the properties of local wood species in their natural, wild form.
