Description

Mass Timber / Design and Research presents new research and design work with Mass Timber, a new construction technology, well known in Europe, but reasonably unfamiliar in america. Leading the Mass Timber design dialogue in the USA, the creator, Susan Jones, an architect in Seattle, Washington, has been pioneering the brand new, innovative use of wood during the last six years, since she built her own circle of relatives’s house from cross-laminated timber in 2015 in a neighborhood in Seattle. The book presents her Seattle firm, her circle of relatives, and her University of Washington students’ years of research and design. Opening with the tale of three generations of her circle of relatives’s own sustainable forest practices, the book presents research into Pacific Northwest forestry, timber and Cross-Laminated Timber manufacturing practices, to carbon analysis and carbon comparisons between standard building construction assemblies and technologies; and concludes with the design of model buildings both designed and built by her firm, atelierjones and her University of Washington students: including a single-circle of relatives house, a church, schools, multi-circle of relatives housing, and a twelve-story Tall Timber Wood Innovation tower at the University of Washington campus in Seattle.
