This building is inspired by the Forestry Building, located in the state of Oregon.
Experience it for yourself!
Text copied from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Forestry_Center
The World Forestry Center has its roots in the 1905 Lewis and Clark Centennial American Pacific Exposition and Oriental Fair for which an enormous log cabin was built of huge native trees and advertised as the world's largest.[3] Public interest in the Forestry Building, which was turned over to the State of Oregon, lasted long after the exposition ended, right up until it was destroyed by fire on August 17, 1964.[2]
The day after the fire, a group of civic and industry leaders conceived The Western Forestry Center.[citation needed] A new, more fire-resistant forestry building designed by Oregon architect John Storrs was built in Washington Park.[citation needed]
It opened to the public on June 5, 1971.On June 30, 2005, after a $7
million (~$10.1 million in 2022), 6-month renovation, the
20,000-square-foot (1,900 m2) museum reopened with new interactive exhibits about the sustainability of forests and trees of the Pacific Northwest and the world.[4]
