The most fervent supporters of tall timber architecture push for a world in which steel and concrete fall to the wayside due to their steep environmental costs. This crucial decline would make room for wood to rise to unprecedented heights, and occupy new roles in the structural makeup of buildings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But how does timber really measure up? Wood is a renewable resource that is less energy-intensive to extract than those construction giants, concrete and steel. Once extracted, it also requires reduced energy to process raw logs into engineered wood \u2014 a material form that can be easily harnessed for construction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, and perhaps most interestingly, the emissions that are naturally absorbed into trees through process of photosynthesis continues to be sequestered in the building\u2019s wood fibers throughout its lifespan. This means that if built right, architecture can serve as a carbon sink for as long as it stands. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this collection, take a look at three spectacular structures that serve as game changers in the realm of mass timber construction.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46856 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1480718120274MGA_T3_Ext01_Ema_Peter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1480718120274MGA_T3_Ext01_Ema_Peter.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1480718120274MGA_T3_Ext01_Ema_Peter-300x241.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1480718120274MGA_T3_Ext01_Ema_Peter-768x618.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1480718120274MGA_T3_Ext01_Ema_Peter-1024x824.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy lazy_media_item wp-image-46847 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MGA_T3_Ext16_Ema_Peter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"667\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MGA_T3_Ext16_Ema_Peter.jpg 667w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/MGA_T3_Ext16_Ema_Peter-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 667px) 100vw, 667px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46850 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1480718140683MGA_T3_Int01_Ema_Peter.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1480718140683MGA_T3_Int01_Ema_Peter.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1480718140683MGA_T3_Int01_Ema_Peter-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1480718140683MGA_T3_Int01_Ema_Peter-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/1480718140683MGA_T3_Int01_Ema_Peter-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/minneapolis-t3\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>T3 MINNEAPOLIS<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/michael-green-architecture\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Michael Green Architecture<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/dlr-group\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DLR Group<\/a>, Minneapolis, United States<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Built by Michael Green Architecture and DLR Group, T3 MINNEAPOLIS is a LEED Gold Certified building that became the largest timber tower in the US when it went up in 2016. Short for \u201cTimber, Technology, Transit,\u201d T3 is a seven-story, 220-square-foot-structure that harnesses timber construction to create an inviting office space that is differentiated from its steel and concrete counterparts; using the warmth of natural materials, the architects sought to create an interior space where individuals would truly enjoy working.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the building\u2019s boxy exterior appearance, T3 is anything but simple. It is clad in weathering steel and uses spruce-pine-fir NTL panels, spruce glulam post-and-beam framing, and a concrete topping slab to form its structure. The building\u2019s structural bays are 20-feet by 25-feet, with timber beams spanning 25-feet and NLT panels spanning 20-feet. Notably, the architects chose to work with NLT because of its relative affordability compared to other structural timber systems. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team behind Minneapolis T3 was also careful to extend environmentalism and efficiency to the project\u2019s material selection and sourcing. A majority of the project\u2019s lumber came from trees in the Pacific Northwest region that were killed by the mountain pine beetle, and all the wood used in the project is certified under Sustainable Forestry Initiative guidelines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46853 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/151147211815401_TWR_Brock_Commons_Tallwood_House_ME.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1680\" height=\"2520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/151147211815401_TWR_Brock_Commons_Tallwood_House_ME.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/151147211815401_TWR_Brock_Commons_Tallwood_House_ME-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/151147211815401_TWR_Brock_Commons_Tallwood_House_ME-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/151147211815401_TWR_Brock_Commons_Tallwood_House_ME-683x1024.jpg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46859 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/151147212708230_TWR_mass_wood_structure_and_encapsulation_AOA.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1087\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/151147212708230_TWR_mass_wood_structure_and_encapsulation_AOA.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/151147212708230_TWR_mass_wood_structure_and_encapsulation_AOA-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/151147212708230_TWR_mass_wood_structure_and_encapsulation_AOA-768x497.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/151147212708230_TWR_mass_wood_structure_and_encapsulation_AOA-1024x663.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46862 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/151147212522620_TWR_18_floor_lounge_ME.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/151147212522620_TWR_18_floor_lounge_ME.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/151147212522620_TWR_18_floor_lounge_ME-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/151147212522620_TWR_18_floor_lounge_ME-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/151147212522620_TWR_18_floor_lounge_ME-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/brock-commons-tallwood-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Brockwood Commons Tallwood House<\/strong><\/a> by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/acton-ostry-architects-inc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Acton Ostry Architects Inc.<\/a>, Vancouver, Canada<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Located at The University of British Columbia&#8217;s Vancouver campus, at eighteen-stories Brock Commons stands as the world\u2019s tallest mass timber structure.

Finally, the design utilizes wood species found locally throughout the province, including Douglas-fir, Western red cedar, hemlock, pine, and spruce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"c-button
