Mass timber construction has emerged as a sustainable alternative to steel and concrete, potentially reducing the carbon footprint of buildings while providing a unique aesthetic.
The 14-story building at the University of Toronto represents a shift towards mass timber structures, showcasing modern methods of assembly similar to flat-pack furniture.
Experts argue that while mass timber's exact impact on climate change remains debated, its use of renewable wood could offer environmental benefits over traditional materials.
Currently, Europe leads in mass timber projects, with a significant rise in construction globally, indicating a growing trend in sustainable building practices.
