Naturally Durable, Inc : The Institute of Contemporary Art

Prominent and extensive use of FSC Certified wood in a new museum located in South Boston, right on the waterfront, gives museum attendees and casual visitors along the Harbor Walk a chance to appreciate practical uses of materials from FSC Certified forests. This project brings the beauty of an FSC certified forest into the rarified atmosphere of a contemporary art museum and, for all to see, in a public outdoor plaza along the first portion of a Harbor Walk to be built all along the reclaimed South Boston waterfront.
