About Wood and Tree Plakat
Wood and Tree er en plakat skabt til et arkitekturseminar afholdt i Tokyo, Japan. Seminarets tema er den nye anvendelse af træ, et klassisk materiale, i moderne arkitektur. Plakaten bruger et moderne grafisk sprog til at simulere en klassisk tegning af træets årringe. Linjer med varieret antal, tykkelse, krumning og farve blev afprøvet for at danne mønsteret. Resultatet er matematisk i sin struktur, men den naturlige skønhed forbliver. Plakaten måler 210 gange 297 millimeter. Den blev udstillet ved en indgang, hvor besøgende kunne tage små foldere.
