Mass Timber Market Updates - Nov 2021 - Week Fourtyseven

In this week's episode, Ryerson University wants to build the
first 100 per cent, digitally-enabled building in the world, only
to tear it down in the years to come. British designer Thomas
Heatherwick's studio is collaborating with architecture office
Veretec to create a campus for global pharmaceutical company UCB
in southeast England. In an EU scheme inspired by clever
forest-dwelling giants, Finland’s VTT Technical Research Centre
will construct a 500-sq-m demonstration building made of novel
wood-based materials and components to showcase the benefits of
timber in rural and urban development. Designed by Dutch
architects UNStudio, the building will have wood thermal
insulation materials, structural insulation panels (SIPs) and
wood-plastic composites, among other components. With efforts to
find new ways to lock up carbon, developers, architects and net
zero committed companies are asking, "Is wood the new concrete?"
New technology in what’s called "mass timber" production offers a
carbon-cutting alternative to concrete and steel in the building
sector.
