Description
The use of mass timber (also called engineered wood) in architecture involves prefabricated modular parts, making construction quicker and cheaper, and applying digital technology to design and fabrication. Both glue-laminated timber (glulam) and cross-laminated timber (CLT) are load-bearing materials that offer buildings not only a positive carbon footprint but also flame-retardant qualities. A special feature on mass timber includes exemplary projects such as the World of Volvo by Henning Larsen and the Rehmannia Root Crafts Exhibition Hall by LUO studio. In addition, the magazine features a special profile on new Basque topography through the eyes of Ele Arkitektura.
