The PDX Airport Main Terminal expansion in Portland stands as the largest mass timber project ever undertaken. The 3.5 million board feet of wood used in the roof, concessions, flooring, and feature walls were sourced from within a 300-mile radius of the airport. The wood includes contributions from small family-owned forests, non-profits, and tribal nations. This sustainable approach by the architects at ZGF both supports local economies and highlights Oregon’s tradition of forest product innovation. The mass timber roof, a marvel of engineering, symbolizes both the history and the future of sustainable wood design.
My main goal as photographer was to make sure the public sees the building the way I experienced it as a forest inside. Catching the rays of light which happen midday was key for me as it showcased well the skylights and the way you experience sunlight in the building.
