  2. WoodWorks put together a 2025 roundup of technical resources (codes, enclosure detailing, case studies). Great background reading for photographers working with architects/builders.

  4. There were already SO MANY REASONS for cities to get big into Mass Timber building construction. For Canadian cities, and for allies of Canada, Trump starting an illegal trade war with Canada gave us another really BIG reason — Canadian wood helping the Canadian economy. #MassTimber

  6. As part of a growing shift toward sustainable construction, Meta has started building with mass timber at its data center campus in Aiken, South Carolina. The material is being used in administrative buildings. This marks the company’s latest move toward reducing its carbon footprint in tech infrastructure. #DataCenters #masstimber #Meta #Sustainability

  8. Cover the whole mess with a park space, please.

    Bury it before it buries more of us.

    Use some of that #masstimber you so love to rave about.

  10. Mass timber buildings sound like a win-win. I wish more politicians were serious about something like this, rather than on using chaos man’s tariff bullying to double down on gas and oil extraction to boost the economy.

  12. Wooden rollercoasters are the best.
    Also are there any that make use of new tech like Mass timber / glulam etc? Huge buildings are being made with that now, and one of the drawbacks of wooden coasters before was the amount of wood needed / limitations on strength etc, but some of that should be alleviated now, and metal coasters just never felt the same.

  14. One of Canada's most exciting projects! Hybrid mass timber rental tower in Vancouver

    • Purpose built rental including below market units and family sized units
    • Hybrid mass timber means lower embodied carbon
    • Beautiful architectural expression
    • Simple, rational massing with no goofy set-backs (Toronto listen up!)

    Well done Henriquez Partners Architects & Westbank

  17. A query on reddit about mass timber got a lot of enthusiastic responses from contractors sing it in the US - more than I would have thought.

  19. Panel discussion on managing construction costs in #AffordableHousing at the #Housing Authority of #Everett and #Snohomish County (#HCESC) conference. Representatives from #WalshConstruction #BellwetherHousing #SMRarchitects #GGLOarchitects and my colleague Aaron Allan from #EnvironmentalWorks, disusssing 3-d modeling, design-build, #massTimber, and improvements to framing systems to manage costs.

  23. A non-art post, so apologies to the local feed.

    But new paper from us at RISE on external fire plumes from compartments with exposed mass timber. Open access and includes a load of the data as supplementary materials for you to download and poke around with yourselves!

  24. I tend to think that processes and relations are more important in determining the quality of our lives than materials, but I must say that I find #masstimber (#CLT or #glulam primarily) superimpressive. In part, this is because of the processes of assembly it permits and the healthier – and potentially #postgrowth –relations it allows us to enter into as a building material, but some of my enthusiasm is just sheer aesthetic glee.
