Timber is the new concrete,\u201d said Alex de Rijke, director of London-based firm dRMM, which has been working with the material for 10 years. Its CLT projects include a wooden house in Hackney, a trio of residential towers in Norway, and a staircase installation that pioneered the use of hardwood CLT. \u201cCLT has opportunities for significant<br \/>\nadvantages over steel, concrete or masonry construction in terms of environmental credentials, speed, weight, and structure as finish,\u201d said de Rijke. \u201cThe 17th century was the age of stone,\u201d he said. \u201cThe 18th century was the peak of brick. The 19th century was the era of iron. The 20th century was the century of concrete. The 21st century will be the time for timber.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4432 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Architecture4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"573\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Architecture4.png 1155w, https:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Architecture4-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Architecture4-768x350.png 768w, https:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Architecture4-1024x466.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 573px) 100vw, 573px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Several new buildings demonstrate the material&#8217;s potential, including a Chicago pavilion with an expansive self-supporting roof and the high-rise apartment building that won this year&#8217;s prestigious Finlandia Prize for Architecture. There are also timber skyscrapers planned for Sweden, Canada and Austria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMass timber buildings are changing the scale of what is possible to be built in wood around the world,\u201d said Canadian architect Michael Green, who urged architects and engineers to swap steel and concrete for timber in his 2012 publication The Case For Tall Wood.<\/p>\n<p>Green said that, while there has been no reason to challenge the role of steel and concrete in construction before, climate change now demands that we do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor a century and a half, steel and concrete have shaped the skylines of the world,\u201d he told Dezeen. \u201cThey are wonderful materials that allow big buildings, bridges and roads, but we now also know that they are hugely energy demanding to produce and have significant carbon footprints.\u201d<br \/>\nPrefabricated modules of cross-laminated timber were \u201cplugged in like Lego pieces\u201d to build OPPEAA&#8217;s Finlandia Prize-winning Puukuokka apartment building<\/p>\n<p>\u201cClimate change and the need for more urban housing collide in a crisis that demands building solutions with low energy and low carbon footprints,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a renewable material grown by the power of the sun, wood offers us a new way to think about our future. To do so means reinventing wood; making it stronger, more firesafe, more durable and sourced from sustainably managed forests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the latest developments in timber construction is the introduction of hybrid CLT systems \u2013 which involve pairing engineered timber with steel components. These are becoming increasingly popular, because they make more complex forms possible.<\/p>\n<p>Alex Smith of London-based Hawkins\\Brown, the firm behind the tallest hybrid-CLT building in Europe, believes this type of system is more attractive to property developers, who initially were \u201cpessimistic\u201d about using wood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think there is a lot of potential in timber-hybrid structures to enable more sustainable and more ambitious structures,\u201d he told Dezeen.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4433 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Architecture.jpg5_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"302\" height=\"297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Architecture.jpg5_.jpg 633w, https:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Architecture.jpg5_-300x295.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 302px) 100vw, 302px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>His project, called The Cube, is a 33-metre-high apartment block. It features a predominantly CLT structure, but also includes some steel elements that were used to create cantilevered overhangs.<br \/>\n\u201cBy combining the stiffness of steel with more insulative prefabricated timber panels, the structure forms a unified solution, which by volume is 90 per cent timber,\u201d added Smith. \u201cI often liken it to Ikea shelving systems where a simple steel cross bracing can stiffen the structure, despite appearing relatively flimsy.\u201d<br \/>\nWaugh has also worked with hybrid structures but is less convinced. He describes them as the architecture equivalent of the first motor vehicles, which were designed to look like horse-drawn carriages to make passengers feel safe.<br \/>\n\u201cIt&#8217;s a transitory stage in the development of timber architecture,\u201d he said. \u201cA lot of the hybrid schemes we have seen in the press have got people&#8217;s excitement going which is great. But how relevant they are, I&#8217;m not sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4434 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Architecture.jpg7_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"296\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Architecture.jpg7_.jpg 660w, https:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Architecture.jpg7_-300x235.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 296px) 100vw, 296px\" \/>Waugh&#8217;s completed CLT projects include the nine-storey Murray Grove building that, when it completed in 2009, was believed to be the world&#8217;s tallest modern timber residential building. He was also behind the UK&#8217;s first CLT building, and is now working with Japanese architect Shigeru Ban on a structure featuring CLT floor slabs.<\/p>\n<p>He claims that a CLT structure can be constructed 50 per cent faster than a concrete building, requires fewer deliveries to site, and offers a far more pleasant environment for construction workers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur building sites are fantastic places to be,\u201d he explained. \u201cEveryone is happy, putting these buildings together with cordless screwdrivers and nail guns. There are no grinders, no jackhammers, and there aren&#8217;t any harsh environments.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is just better quality building,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe&#8217;ve had residents from Murray Grove tell us &#8216;we never use our heating&#8217; and &#8216;we have never heard our neighbours&#8217;.\u201d<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4435 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Architecture.jpg8_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"331\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Architecture.jpg8_.jpg 658w, https:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/Architecture.jpg8_-300x247.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I feel like the more parametric, bizarre, shape-making architecture is a ridiculous obsession of 20th century architects,\u201d he added. We have issues around us such as climate change and massive housing shortages, so the architecture profession needs to be celebrating ideas of sustainability and great buildings, not ridiculous shapes.\u201d<br \/>\nCF M\u00f8ller architect Ola Jonsson also believes wood is the future: \u201cWe have researched massive wood constructions for many years and strongly believe that it is the smartest way to build multi-storey buildings in Scandinavia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The architect \u2013 who is currently working on a &#8220;woodscraper&#8221; for Stockholm \u2013 believes the biggest challenge to overcome is not the limits of the material, instead it is the lack of experience within the construction industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think massive wood constructions give urban planners, architects and designers great possibilities to develop innovative and sustainable architecture,\u201d he told Dezeen. \u201cBut even though we have great production of quality wood in Sweden, the knowledge and the industry is not prepared.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>De Rijke also said that negative preconceptions were the biggest inhibitor to a new age of timber architecture. Although dRMM has designed over 30 CLT buildings and built 12, he says he still faces prejudice about choosing wood over concrete.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4437\" src=\"http:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Architecture.jpg9_.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1090\" height=\"269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Architecture.jpg9_.png 1090w, https:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Architecture.jpg9_-300x74.png 300w, https:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Architecture.jpg9_-768x190.png 768w, https:\/\/plyinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Architecture.jpg9_-1024x253.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1090px) 100vw, 1090px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe challenges are not technical but prejudice,\u201d he said. \u201cFor example, banks or mortgage providers prefer concrete over engineered timber for what they mistakenly perceive as collateral or insurance risk.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the largest obstacles faced by large-scale wooden buildings are concerns around fire safety. Many countries impose a limit on the height of timber buildings for this reason. So when Finland changed its building code in 2010, making it possible to build wooden buildings up to eight storeys for the first time, architect Anssi Lassila of OOPEAA set out to change public perception.<\/p>\n<p>His Finlandia Prize-winning Puukuokka apartment building is the tallest of its kind in the country, with an all-CLT structure covered in a fire-resistant coating.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been estimated that, when realised in accordance with the regulations, a wooden apartment building is 50 times more fire safe than a similar apartment building made of concrete,\u201d he said. \u201cWe now need to consider the further development of CLT&#8217;s potential and study alternatives for the use of glue.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: right;\">Courtesy: Dezeen.com<\/h6>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Architects embrace \u201cthe beginning of the timber age\u201d Wood is taking over from steel and concrete as the architectural wonder material of the 21st century, with architects praising its sustainability, quality and speed of construction.
