Heavy Timber
Large-scale timber construction methods, materials, and architectural applications in contemporary building design.
Heavy timber refers to structural systems using large solid or engineered wood elements in substantial buildings. This approach combines traditional timber construction principles with modern engineering to create durable, load-bearing structures suitable for multi-story residential, commercial, and cultural projects.The community explores mass timber towers, residential developments, and civic buildings that demonstrate timber's capacity for urban-scale construction. Members document projects ranging from ten-story waterfront landmarks to cultural halls, examining how timber integrates with existing urban contexts and heritage sites.
