"A high profile project with one of the UK's leading architects, David Adjaye, has put American tulipwood into the spotlight. Adjaye's tulipwood pavilion is a major feature of the 2008 London Design Festival, taking its place on London's South Bank for the duration of the Festival. Named by the architect 'Sclera' the pavilion's design is innovative and, appropriately, eye catching. And Adjaye's preference for tulipwood is a bold choice, marking the start of what may be a new era for this prolific, strong and versatile timber."(Quelle: www.americanhardwood.org/hardwood-species/case-studies/sclera-a-tulipwood-pavilion/)
