Timber retreat - eco friendly hub for students / Dhia Batrisyia Khalis Zamrol ... [et al.]

The student hub is the student heart of a campus and acts as a magnet where students gather to connect socially with each other, study alone, or in small groups. Students require an environment-exposed learning space to alleviate factors like stress. Having a pavilion for students is such a wonderful way for them to relax or chill out. Typically, a pavilion serves as an open, ornamental structure in a garden, park, or recreational area, providing either entertainment or shelter. During the construction of a pavilion, the use of sustainable materials creates a more environmentally friendly space, thereby enhancing environmental cleanliness. The ability to exist and develop without depleting natural resources for the future is known as sustainability. In the Brundtland Report, the United Nations defined sustainable development as development that meets present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. Research has been conducted on the analysis of timber as a sustainable material for construction. Sustainable forest management aims to produce timber by maintaining a balance between the forest's natural production and the amount of wood harvested, preventing any harm to the soil, water cycles, or future seed sources. Timber suggests using wood or wooden materials in the design, whereas fusion implies blending or combining different elements or styles.
