Mitigating climate change is the ultimate design challenge. Our buildings and cities account for 45% of all GHG emissions, including their operational energy and embodied (upfront) carbon to build them. We have little time to reinvent our low carbon future. To succeed, we must make our buildings and cities better than ever before. Mass timber offers a way to safely store carbon, while reducing the amount of steel and concrete typically used. What we discovered, however, is that the real potential lies in mass customization, and that the lessons learned from mass timber can inform all building sectors.
In this session, we propose we are at a moment of transformation, from construction as-we-know-it, to a paradigm of low-carbon manufactured assembly: more efficient, inspired, less wasteful and setting the stage for recyclable cities. Examples include recently completed buildings ranging from public buildings, offices, classrooms and hotel to a boutique wine village and hospital.
