The Forest Lab for Observational Research and Analysis (FLORA) is a scientific research facility developed and built by a team of students and researchers of the Master in Advanced Ecological Buildings and Biocities (MAEBB) with timber from sustainable forest management, allowing a researcher to live and work in the forest canopy. Located in Valldaura and situated in the central forest of the metropolitan area of Barcelona, the Collserola Natural Park, FLORA measures over 8,5 metres in height and was built from invasive pine trees sourced within the park through rigorous sustainable forest management and traceability procedures. Seventy trees were cut and processed by the master students to create cross laminated timber panels, laminated beams, and solid wood elements.
