#nofilterneeded to announce that the #MassTimberMethods report is finally COMPLETE! It’s been a long time coming and I’m so excited it’s done 🎉 many thanks as always to @hart_howerton for making this research possible!

Full day--before my UBC visit I had a great time talking with three of the hardworking staff at #MichaelGreenArchitecture. I thank them for their generosity with their time and for letting me pick their brains about challenges and strategies with #masstimber in #NorthAmerica! #travel4timber . . . . #hhfellowship #harthowertonfellowship #mga #woodarchitecture #timberarchitecture #wood #timber (at Gastown)

Went by the #RonaldMcDonaldHouse BC today, one of my favorite #MichaelGreenArchitecture projects. Built in 2013, it utilizes an innovative hybrid #CLT + #TJI structure, though looking at the building you'd never know it was #masstimberconstruction. The design concept is four interconnected houses, each serving roughly 18 families. Energy efficiency was also prioritized. No photography allowed inside, but beautiful images can be found on the #MGA website. The two diagrams at the end of this photo collection are also from MGA materials accessed online. #travel4timber . . . . #hhfellowship #harthowertonfellowship #timberconstruction #masstimber (at Ronald McDonald House BC and Yukon)

New blog post up! #H4, #H8, #BundOCampus, #SchankulaArchitekten on #prefab and #DesignBuild with #HuberundSohn, and more! It's a long one this time... #travel4timber #hhfellowship #harthowertonfellowship #masstimber #timberconstruction #woodconstruction

Also today--met with the one-and-only Joseph Mayo of #Mahlum architects, author of the book "Solid Wood: Case Studies in Mass Timber Architecture," the go-to resource for innovative contemporary #masstimber projects around the world. Got my copy signed 👍👍 . . . . #travel4timber #harthowertonfellowship #hhfellowship (at Seattle, Washington)

Back in North America! Met this morning with Craig Curtis, president of #Katerra, a new company seeking to close the productivity gap in the construction industry by optimizing every aspect of development, design, and construction. Katerra is also developing a catalog of #masstimber products for residential and commerical building projects, including #CLT and #glulam timber at both architectural and industrial appearance grades. . . . . #travel4timber #harthowertonfellowship #hhfellowship #architecture (at Seattle, Washington)

Followed up an incredibly informative meeting with #ETHZurich's Dr. Frangi with a #selfie at the #Arc_Tec_Lab, with its #sequentialroof. Dr. Frangi is a structural engineer and researcher, and his knowledge of timber in terms of both technology and the market seemingly knows no bounds. Among other things he helped develop the Swiss fire code. In part because of his efforts, #Switzerland is the only country worldwide to have no limit on timber's use as a building material in its fire code. #bigdeal . . . . #travel4timber #harthowertonfellowship #hhfellowship (at ETH Hönggerberg)
