Project Description
FROM THE AIBC:
The Wood Innovation Design Centre is, for the moment, the
world’s tallest modern all timber structure, a record soon to be broken by
other mass timber buildings in the works. Michael Green Architecture sought to
demonstrate economical, repeatable technologies for building high-rise
structures with timber and was realized as a Design Build with a short schedule
of design and construction over 15 months. Testing of fire, smoke, acoustic and
structural innovations happened in tandem with design and construction leaving
little time to adapt throughout.
