This is hardcore: CNC prototypes for timber cores : Designing multi-storey timber buildings from the inside out

, 2014
No architect will make a dent in the universe by designing an excellent services shaft or HVAC system, and yet architects could certainly do a lot worse than focusing on redefining the hidden innards supporting our built environment.

Case study houses 2.0 : Mass-customised multi-storey timber buildnings : Competitive high-rise timber structures from an architectural and engineering point of view

, 2012
The authors present a rule-based system that applies to the architecture of innovative tall timber buildings, and provide examples of interesting multi-storey timber buildings that can be constructed through the application of those rules.

Comparative Life Cycle Assessment of Mass Timber and Concrete Residential Buildings: A Case Study in China

, 2021
As the population continues to grow in China’s urban settings, the building sector contributes to increasing levels of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Concrete and steel are the two most common construction materials used in China and account for 60% of ...

Progressive collapse (Robustness) behaviour of mid-rise mass timber frame buildings

, 2018
With recent changes in legislations, mid-rise to tall timber buildings have gained international attention. As the height of timber buildings increases, so do their potential risks of progressive collapse.

Increasing thermal mass in lightweight dwellings using phase change materials – a literature review

, 2009
The number of houses of lightweight timber or steel frame construction being built over recent years has increased significantly. These buildings have low thermal mass and may be subject to large temperature fluctuations and particular overheating during

Global state of knowledge on human-induced sound and vibration events: defining future research directions for mass timber products

Journal of Wood Science
Despite the rise in mass timber buildings globally, challenges remain with timber’s limitations in low-frequency sound and vibration. This is due to timber’s lower density compared to concrete and steel, leading to natural frequencies more susceptible to
