Researchers at the University of Stuttgart in Germany are developing two autonomous robotic systems designed to make construction faster, more productive, and less wasteful. The projects, SCALAR and ...

His research topic focuses on integrated sustainable, structural and architectural design concepts for timber-only structures, more specifically, structures made from salvaged timber and wooden nails ...

A pavilion built almost entirely from wood and flax fibres is challenging one of architecture’s oldest habits: deciding what ...

In this thesis, a concept of timber-only structures and architecture was proposed to explore possible sustainable solutions ...

Given the unpredictability of concrete and steel deliveries, mass timber is ascending in preference as a building material, as shown by standout projects across the U.S.

Prefabricated mass timber can help data centers reduce carbon footprint, improve flexibility and boost workplace experience.

Structural timber is in the midst of a renaissance; an ironic trend given that timber is arguably the most ancient of building materials. But new innovations in structural timber design have inspired ...

Mass timber is poised to join concrete, steel, and light-wood framing as a primary structural material for multifamily projects. Mass timber construction involves the use of prefabricated wood ...

“I wouldn’t take credit for paving the way, but we pushed the limits,” says Steve Turner, President of Western Wood Structures, who’s been working with large-scale wood structures since the mid 1970s.

When we talk about timber innovation, we’re talking about mass timber. Between glue-laminated (glulam) beams, dowel-laminated timber (DLT), and cross-laminated timber (CLT), there’s a slew of ...

A new analysis could help architects and builders reduce the carbon footprint of truss structures, the crisscrossing struts that bolster bridges, towers, and buildings. Buildings are a big contributor ...

The program opens a local path into skilled trades with strong earning potential. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports ...
