What is Mass Timber?

George Berghorn explains the materials and processes of the new cutting edge building material

I helped build that place, it was so much fun. There's no building like it anywhere. Really humbling to be a part of this project.

Nice overview. Clean delivery. Thanks for sharing.

Some Japanese wooden buildings have no nails. Can a mass timber building be built in the same manner or at least theoretically?

Affordable housing 🏘 = Mini Apartment block [ 3 floors] + Mass timber [Column+Beams] + Cellar [ Car parking] + Foam concrete panels. No lift = less energy consumption. Solar roof = smart electricity grid. Spacious living = 1 family unit per 1 floor.

Spectacular guys, the biggest challenge of all times fans, get in action, let's save the planet together, let's get smart, we have all technologies we need to create sustainable lifestyle, giving our planet more oxygen to breathe

[annegeorge]

What fire protection is used?.. how are the termites prevented?. What about when it rains

[melaniamonicacraciun]

Wish you try to think also about new vertical gardens for old buildings, solutions how to convert them on to smog eaters, at least the big cities, what a great revolution this could be, only trying to imagine it. Maybe you find the solution how to create new panels, windows, walls or balconies that can work as new electrical power units to raise Buildings independent from the national system, that could be the biggest satisfaction ever, think about it.

[MbahMu]

That must be a pretty damn strong glue

[ossieostrich]

Excellent presentation, very informative. :)

[JohnWKerr]

Could something like this be done with bamboo?

[HyPex-]

How does hold up over the effects of inclement weather conditions?

[melaniamonicacraciun]

Wishing you work also on Green coats, verticale gardens, how to convert each old building on to a planet's lung, neutralize pollution, let's get it straight, nobody will ever give up using cars airplanes and burning fuels, when even electrical power is based on burning coal. But building up new infrastructures as smog eaters might be the best solution. Basicly, the grand mother's cottage roses garden on skyscrapes dimension, can you imagine it? Even the Sun should stop to admire such a heavenly delight

[TheRockofEasyCo]

Are we missing out on a benefit by not treating the lumber with oil/wax/stain? I see in your examples that the everything is stained, is that cosmetic?

[melaniamonicacraciun]

India is facing these days devastating floods, we all know, the best anti landslides solutions are always the tree roots under ground, but if buildings could have the same roots to hold the hills from sliding away, think about it what a huge opportunity for creating jobs and local welfare. Mother Earth is weeping rivers of tears of pain due to this global warming, well, having high fever is not much fun, let's try to care about her a bit some more, you can do remarcable things guys, how l wish you do indeed

[Harborman]

I have associates in the Middle East that are interested in this. I lived in the Middle East for over 4 years building Butler Buildings.

[melaniamonicacraciun]

Awesome inspiration fans, if we could give anyone good reasons getting involved in smart investments, indeed, how to plant new trees or carrying on a bio research for smart vegetals, for new construction materials, for green buildings, for raising up smog eaters to neutralize pollution, giving our planet the chance to have oxygen and breathe happily, yeah, the biggest challenge of all times fans, anyone is important to get involved indeed, let's save our planet before we get fried all of us for good

[melaniamonicacraciun]

Maybe this technology will help finally investors in bio green vegetals research of smog eaters, of new trees massive plantations, until any desert will be dismantled, including the American one, too much good sweet water is running down to the ocean, let's save the water now that we have the farming genius irigation solutions using drops dispenser pipelines, yeah, What a wonderful world this could be fans think about it

Make it wooden with the help of the Woodglut instructions.
