#NoFilter on the #UBC campus at #BrockCommons, the tallest #wood building in the world. The world! #ActonOstryArchitects designed, with timber consultancy from #ArchitektenHermannKaufmann. It really looks beautiful. The structure is mostly not exposed, though wood is celebrated as a finish material in common spaces, and #glulam beams and columns are exposed in social spaces on the 18th (top) floor. I got REALLY lucky and ran into one of the superintendents on site, and got to pick his brain about the construction process. Accustomed to working in concrete, he was a BIG fan of structural #masstimber and #prefabrication. Accuracy was within millimeters, and the wood performed better than expected in compression. More I'll have to #blog about later! #travel4timber . . . . #hhfellowship #harthowertonfellowship #hermannkaufmann #CLT #crosslam (at University of British Columbia)
