Abstract
Replaced by materials resulting from sophisticated post-war American research processes, wood becomes in the Sea Ranch the perfect raw material to investigate a new language. To the connection that its renewable origin establishes with the design approach, the commitment to the material is added as a response to contemporary needs that only the new systems seem to supply. Far from stereotyped attitudes or the unchallenged defense of its benefits, wood becomes a vehicle of formalization of the everyday, through successive transformations that multiply their meaning without obviating the contemporaneity of language.
