Tverrfjellhytta, Hjerkinn, Dovre Municipality, Norway, 2011 designed by Snøhetta
The building design is based on a rigid outer shell and an organic inner core.
The rectangular frame is made in raw steel resembling the iron found in the local bedrock. The simple form and use of natural materials reference local building traditions. However, advanced technologies have been utilized both in the design and the fabrication process. Using digital 3D-models to drive the milling machines, Norwegian shipbuilders in Hardangerfjord created the organic shape from 10 inch square pine timber beams. The wood was then assembled in a traditional way using only wood pegs as fasteners. The exterior wall has been treated with pine tar while the interior wood has been oiled. -- ArchDaily

Chapel Tree of Life, Braga, Portugal designed by Cerejeira Fontes Arquitectos
The structure of the chapel is designed by hand, developing in almost sculptural contours coated wooden blades that create moments of opening, allowing light to filter the power from inside to outside and vice versa giving greater dignity to the structural elements a result of manual labor. Banks arise from the excavation walls, as if it were a cave. -- ArchDaily
