#nofilterneeded to announce that the #MassTimberMethods report is finally COMPLETE! Itās been a long time coming and Iām so excited itās done š many thanks as always to @hart_howerton for making this research possible!

New #blog post up at link in bio! This one covers an afternoon spent the #TechnicalUniversityOfMunich (#TUM) talking with researchers in wood design and construction. We talked about differences with the design and planning process with contemporary timber construction, moisture protection, and code, among other things. #travel4timber . . . #hhfellowship #harthowertonfellowship #woodconstruction #timber #massivewood #masstimber #research
Full day--before my UBC visit I had a great time talking with three of the hardworking staff at #MichaelGreenArchitecture. I thank them for their generosity with their time and for letting me pick their brains about challenges and strategies with #masstimber in #NorthAmerica! #travel4timber . . . . #hhfellowship #harthowertonfellowship #mga #woodarchitecture #timberarchitecture #wood #timber (at Gastown)
Great tour this morning of the #BullittCenter in #Seattle by the #MillerHullPartnership, completed in 2013. This 6-story, 62,000 sf office building is the first commercial building to achieve Living Building certification. The building is net-positive in terms of energy and has composting toilets. The first two levels are concrete and the seismic bracing is steel. The load-bearing structure for floors 3-6 is FSC-certified #DouglasFir #glulam columns and beams. The floor slab is #NailLaminatedTimber, topped by plywood to provide the structural diaphragm. Concrete embedded with radiant heating and cooling tubes is on top of the plywood--the mass from the concrete also helps with acoustic performance. . . . . #travel4timber #hhfellowship #harthowertonfellowship (at Bullitt Center)
Also today--met with the one-and-only Joseph Mayo of #Mahlum architects, author of the book "Solid Wood: Case Studies in Mass Timber Architecture," the go-to resource for innovative contemporary #masstimber projects around the world. Got my copy signed šš . . . . #travel4timber #harthowertonfellowship #hhfellowship (at Seattle, Washington)

#FirstLook: #Tamedia AG in #Zurich by #ShigeruBan, completed in July 2013. The craftsmanship is outstanding and the building is even more beautiful in person than it is in pictures. They get a lot of visitors, and the receptionists say they love the atmosphere created by the architecture. Please forgive me if I post a few more of this one... . . . . #travel4timber #harthowertonfellowship #hhfellowship (at Tamedia)
New blog post up! Link in bio. The final #RubnerHolzbau post, a #throwback to my first #hhfellowship week in Munich. So much has happened since but it all must be BLOGGED. It's hard to believe, but I have just two more days in Europe! Sleeping in Zurich tonight. š“ #travel4timber
