Timber construction is gaining traction in the U.S., with Diller Scofidio + Renfro's newest project, the Pardee School for Global Studies at Boston University, leading the way. This 186 ft tall wooden tower, built on a former parking lot, utilizes engineered wood for its construction, highlighting modern sustainable practices. Its energy efficiency is enhanced by triple-glazed windows and rooftop solar panels, reducing reliance on grid energy. The building promotes a welcoming environment with informal gathering spaces, while the landscaping integrates natural elements into urban life, reinforcing the project's commitment to sustainability.
"Diller Scofidio + Renfro's new wooden college tower reflects a significant shift towards sustainable architecture, showcasing the aesthetic and environmental benefits of timber construction."
"With triple-glazed windows and solar panels, the tower exemplifies energy-efficient design, enhancing natural lighting while reducing dependency on artificial heating and cooling systems."
