Many architects agree that there are advantages to building in mass timber.
Trees bind carbon, wooden buildings have shorter construction time, and timber offers superior insulation. So what's impeding the material's widespread adoption? In this episode we explore if mass timber can be a game changer for the industry.
We speak with Andrew Waugh from Waugh Thistleton Architects, UK, whose projects have included Murray Grove, the world's first all- timber residential tower. Andrew is an architect specializing in mass timber, and is working on projects all over the world.
We also talk to Dean Lewis, Director of Mass Timber and Prefabrication with Skanska in the USA. Dean is responsible for the company's work on prefabrication and mass timber projects across the USA, and he speaks warmly about our work on Portland International Airport's innovative curved timber roof using locally sourced materials .
