This is a great presentation for the importance of timber buildings

[stephen]

it's great to see the use of CLT that isnt just about showing exposed wood. literally just using it as another common construction material.

[francoisg]

London needs more building like this. It is great how enthusiastic the people building this apartment are!

[AppleCheese]

What's impressive is they could make the elevator shafts out of CLT.

I love the fact that the one man is as excited to build timber sustained buildings as he is the fall of the petrol age

Thanks for this video I was just talking to someone the other day and was telling them about this project but didn't explain the best so I will send over this video perfect timing

3 Trees per Person. This is impressive.

[denisecreagh]

How amazing! Just amazing. I really like this.

[davyp]

hmm, ??
What is the life expectancy of the building, ??

Thank you I think we can shall may vphv understand the importance and value of timber in Apartments as it is eco friendly and legally binding on the builder and Civil engineer to maintain environmental standards, hence these eco green projects i.e., 80 to 95 percent green projects ( especially foundation and first floors ) can shall may vphv be encouraged constructed and followed by everyone at any cost to build together a green healthy happy and easy life for every citizen in world as you once again

Wolfsburg in Germany is getting two 12 floors tall timber buildings . Woodscraper is the name of this project.

Something about CLT is so natural. Don’t get me wrong, steen and concrete are good elements but still.

[TsiHang]

How about bamboo? It grows faster and is a lighter material

[Tobberz]

Brick looks good, but the one with the panels looks pretty ugly :(
But I suppose it's the building that counts

[haleemahsaida]

Would this b suitable in hot climates ?

I m just anxious about the durability of the walls... you can’t easily treat the wood against bugs or something else ... i think CLT is very good for glass buildings (for office building)... you just put some plaster box for private desk so you can easily treat the celling... columns are easy. For the floor, you just put some wax... everything must be apparent for a easy check up and maintenance. To go further, you need to build with a easy way to replace every parts (column, floor, ...) in 300 years (or more)... so the building value doesn’t decrease with time...

Interesting, but since the timber is imported, are we really sure it is that sustainable?

[cjldn]

Would have made scene if you used a roof top garden

[cutegirl]

I'm guessing no fireplaces, candles, or smoking allowed

This and all other Timber videos would be an Excellent repost for the "Team Trees $20M by 2020" thread.
