Torus Arch
An educational mass timber display at Ponce City Market
The Torus Arch serves as a window into the revolutionary world of the 619 Ponce, a building constructed from wood cultivated in our own Georgian forests.
Torus Arch demonstrates how building with wood, a renewable, biophilic, and abundant resource in Georgia, can better our lives. It is a semi-permanent art installation that was installed at Ponce City Market in April 2023.
TORUS ARCH DESIGN PROCESS
Support Sustainable Building
We need your help to show the public; architects, engineers, and construction professionals; and policy-makers how mass timber can revolutionize our experience of the built environment, and improve our relationship to the natural environment.
