Its compact form is a way to prompt larger questions about space, use, and presence. The structure is shaped to allow in elements like time, sound, humidity, and uncertainty, drawing people into the forest. <em>\u2018What is architecture, really?\u2019<\/em><strong> the architect asks.<\/strong> <em>\u2018Is it something built only for humans?
