Remarkably, “Reliving Gedek” can be installed in less than 24 hours, despite the team involved in it being relatively smaller. Its quality, however, suggests permanence — a testament to today’s evolving fast-paced building industry. The structure comprises prefabricated triangular frames made from sustainably cultivated meranti wood, while the gaps between the structure are fitted with operable woven rattan panels.
Since many were unaware that plywood can serve as a structural element at this scale, “Reliving Gedek” is as much a material exploration as it is a reimagining of a humble vernacular element. It becomes yet another testament to how likely it is to accomplish an eco-friendly timber building through various scales and complexities.
