Nordic Structures

This year's Happy Hour Reception (March 26) is going to be one to remember, and just a small taste of all the excitement, value, and benefits of the Exhibit Hall (let alone the rest of the show) at the world's largest #masstimber event. In addition to perusing over 210 exhibitor displays, including many big mass timber structures, you can... * Stroll by the Research Demonstration Area (TallWood Design Institute) and see automated robotic systems in action, watch a six-story mass timber structure subjected to simulated earthquake forces, and so much more. * Grab a free beer at the Timberlab booth. * Try your hand at mass timber ping pong and corn hole at the Freres Wood Lounge. * Check out live construction demonstrations from the United Brotherhood of Carpenters & Joiners of America * Gather 'round the Cambium Campfire in booth 798 for boozy hot chocolate and an immersive experience blending sustainability, design, and community. * Take a couple of swings at the mini golf area near the beer garden, but don't dally too long, because... * Next door is the WoodWorks Live Build. Grab some popcorn and watch mass timber construction indoors at your viewing pleasure. While there, interact with the artist from Ink Factory Studio, who will bring visual storytelling to the live build with a large-scale illustration in real-time depicting mass timber construction. * Grab some free hors d'oeuvres at any one of the Cafes (courtesy of Polygon US, Sustainable Forestry Initiative, WEINIG HOLZ-HER USA, and Port of Portland / @Greater Portland Inc ). Say hi to Llama Nate, the pet llama, in the Port of Portland/Greater Portland Inc. Cafe. * Explore mass timber structures, including the CedarStone Design and Build mass timber ADU, Arboreal's 2-level building for a birds-eye view of the exhibit hall, and other substantial displays. * Take in Hilti North America's daily demonstrations. AND SO MUCH MORE! You don't want to miss the biggest show on earth for mass timber.

Yesterday, Aaron W. Malone, P.E. , Peter Dreher and I had the opportunity to watch Shawmut Design and Construction fly the first of 15 hybrid timber/steel trusses, we designed, into place at the new American Repratory Theatre - Harvard University. Go team!

We are pleased to announce the topping out of the new Student Center & Dining Commons at Amherst College. This significant milestone was marked by a two-part event: a signing ceremony where students, representatives from Amherst College, and project contributors inscribed their names on the final timber panel, followed by the lifting and installation of the last beam.

Distributionszentrum in Ontario in Holzbaubauweise Im Südosten der kanadischen Provinz Ontario ist im vergangenen Jahr das Tragwerk dieses sehenswerten Lagerhauses errichtet worden. Der Entwurf für die 4.500 m² große Halle in Cambrian Heigths (Greater Sudbury) stammt vom Büro D A O - Danielson Architecture Office Inc. im Auftrag von Bloomington Developments. Die Montage des Massivholz-Tragwerks (IV-HT) hat die Firma TERGOS Architecture et construction écologique vorgenommen. Die Holzbauteile (Bauholz, gerades BSH, Leimbinder und Brettsperrholztafeln) hat Nordic Structures geliefert. Sudbury (160.000 Einwohner) liegt rund 400 km nördlich von Toronto am Rande einer Bergbauregion mit Vorkommen an Nickel und Kupfer. Das teilweise zweigeschossige Gebäude mit rechteckigem Grundriss und 12 Lkw-Rampen hat eine Höhe von 9 Metern. Das Gebäude wurde in Massivholzbauweise errichtet, um den mit dem Bau verbundenen Treibhausgasausstoß zu reduzieren und gleichzeitig ein Gebäude mit dauerhaft attraktiver Struktur zu bekommen. Die Platzierung des Gebäudes auf dem Grundstück erfolgte mit Hilfe parametrischer Werkzeuge, um für die Fundamentierung so wenig Felsarbeiten wie möglich vornehmen zu müssen.

L'Oratoire Saint-Joseph du Mont-Royal se dresse à flanc de montagne avec son nouveau pavillon d'accueil et son carillon de 61 cloches. Cette intervention architecturale contemporaine vient délicatement remodeler un lieu emblématique de Montréal et offrir une nouvelle expérience où la lumière, le son et parfois même la neige valsent au-dessus de la ville. ❄️ 📷 : Ricardo Serrano
