Mass Timber Market Updates - Aug 2021 - Week Thirtythree

In this weeks episode, Steeltech Industries release a rare
photo  the construction of Asia largest timber building,
where Steeltech Industries is constructing. With the use of Mass
Engineered Timber (MET), we have substantially reduced the amount
of concrete required, hence avoiding more than 2,600 tonnes of
CO2 emission in the concrete production process. Mass Timber
Construction Journal founder/editor-in-chief, podcast host and
global mass timber industry expert, Paul Kremer, has been
appointed to the steering committee for an innovative project
with the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH)
based in Chicago. The project will see the development of a
research program examining the benefits of using mass timber
(CLT) in concert with structural steel for the realisation of a
hybrid solution for high-rise buildings. The internationally
active office White Arkitekter is dedicated to the renewable
material wood and ecologically and socially sustainable
architecture. In 2016, they designed a 20- storey building in
Skellefteå in Sweden that will be one of the world’s tallest
timber high- rise structures. Sara Kulturhus – a new cultural
centre right in the core of the city combining theatre, museum,
art gallery, public library, conference centre and hotel – opens
this year. The building, designed to reduce embodied as well as
operational carbon emissions, is mainly made of wood grown in the
regional boreal forests. Solar panels and efficient energy
systems further contribute to minimising the project's climate
footprint.  Don't forget the www.iamtc.org is looking for
