Prepare to be enlightened on the trailblazing advancements in
Mass Timber Construction that are set to reshape our urban
landscapes sustainably. We kick off this episode with a
celebration of UTS Sydney's Associate Professor Feeney's grant
victory, pioneering adhesive-free cross laminated timber—a move
that could catalyze a green revolution in our buildings. Moving
north, the Canadian Wood Council's fire compartment tests
showcase mass timber's resilience, a testament to its reliability
in the most extreme scenarios. 

Venture further into our discussion, and you'll discover the
strategic moves shaping the future of mass timber globally.
Australia's commitment to expanding forestry plantations is a
bold step towards meeting the softwood log production demand by
2050. We also spotlight Oricon's generous backing of the
University of Queensland's Industry Transformation Research Hub,
set to foster innovations for a low carbon and circular economy.
And we can't forget the HushLucker Group's strategic tie-up with
Element 5, heralding a new dawn for North American cross
laminated timber and glulam structures. Wrap up with us as we
explore Andrew Ball's innovative project at 960 Howard Street in
