Behind growing concerns of climate change from greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the building sector, waste, pollution, and costs associated with today's standard construction techniques, architects, builders, and sustainability advocates are turning towards mass timber as an alternative method of construction.

Michael Green and Natalie Telewiak, Principals at MGA | Michael Green Architecture share their expertise in mass timber design and construction. We take a deep dive into all aspects of mass timber buildings discussing benefits, design process, challenges, and much more!

Shervin Reyhani, Certified Engineering Technologist & Technical Manager at Wood Works, a program of the Canadian Wood Council, provides additional technical insight and perspective on the evolution of wood usage in construction.
