Forest to Frame: Why Portland’s Airport is a New Milestone for Mass Timber by Brian Libby Beneath the nine-acre prefab wood roof and dozens of skylights, the new PDX’s tree-lined terminal designed by ZGF Architects is a marvel of material sourcing and construction. Inspired by farm-to-table cuisine, ZGF and its consultant, Sustainable Northwest Wood Inc, created a “forest to frame” approach. Wood was sourced from landowners and mills within a 300-mile radius of the airport, is either Forest Stewardship Council-certified or traceable to forests or landowners meeting equally forest-friendly practices. The team also prioritized sourcing wood from smaller mills, family forests, non-profits, and tribal nations.  “To me it’s a beautiful love story, of what happens when people and the land come together,” Anne Niblett of the Coquille Indian Tribe, whose forest in southwestern Oregon provided wood for the roof’s glulam beams, said at the terminal’s opening dedication. This is not how the timber market normally works. When ZGF began the project, “You couldn’t answer how much wood came from, say, fire-resilience harvesting, or from small family-run forests doing good forestry,” recalls ZGF associate principal Jacob Dunn. Instead, “Forests get logged. The longs go into piles, go through a mill and they get turned into products. They’re not segregated by forest origin or landowner type. So there’s no way to say that this deck of wood came from this forest. It gets completely blended up. - Brian Libby https://lnkd.in/dC3taHvf

One way to protect old growth forests? Create a market for small-to-medium-sized trees. New framing methods involving engineered timber can sequester carbon, reduce wildfire risk, reduce demand for carbon-intensive steel and concrete, and boast a surprising 3-hour fire rating.

Collaborative economic development is a great way forward. This post offers a nice overview of the Coalition's full supply chain approach. #masstimber #buildbackbetter #placebasedeconomicdevelopment #collaboration #innovation
