Columns supporting the “Bridge of Hope” covered archway at the LEED Gold-certified Cancer Support Community facility in Sarasota, Fla., are made from Florida heart pine timber recovered from the bottom of the Suwannee River and estimated to be more than 200 years old, according to Jedd Heap, architect with Carlson Studio Architecture. Resistant to decay, the heart pine is the center portion of these large, ancient trees. Photographer: Dick Dickinson |
