I have some exciting news: Together with Peggi Clouston, I co-authored a reference book on all aspects of mass timber buildings – from the materials through conceptualization and design to construction. If you are interested in developing, designing and constructing mass timber buildings, then you may want to keep an eye on this book. While it has not yet been released (we are still working on the proofs), you can already learn more about it and pre-order your copy by visiting masstimber.info.
Publication will be in January 2026, just in time for the spring semester (in case you are interested in using it for a course)....
A few days ago, the 2025 iteration of the Wood in Architecture awards were handed out. As always, these awards showcase beautiful projects that can be a great source for inspiration.
The WoodWorks "2025 Wood in Architecture Awards" recognize exceptional wood projects that demonstrate creativity, collaboration, and technical excellence. These award-winning designs highlight wood's versatility and impact in various building types, emphasizing its role in achieving efficiency, affordability, sustainability, and community connection.
See below for a few of the projects. The entire list can be found at the following link.
