WOOD DESIGN AWARDS 2003 As unsustainable logging practices have depleted forests worldwide, and industrialized structural systems have developed, heavy-timber structures have largely disappeared from the vocabulary of contemporary architecture. But this hasn't dampened the appeal of wood as a building material.

But controversies have persisted, and what finally gets built may be very different from Libeskind's original design vision.
