Synopsis "Light on Wood. Mass Timber Architecture"

Timber is a renewable material that also creates warm, welcoming spaces offering an emotional quality to their users. Light on Wood is a very personal story about how to design with mass timber. The pioneering architectural practice of atelierjones in Seattle, founded by Susan H. Jones, has diligently worked to decarbonize our built environment. In fact, it was one of the first practices in the US to use mass timber.Many beautiful buildings ensued over the past two decades, often developed in cooperation with local communities. But the office also investigated the behavior of CLT in case of fire and thus contributed to much-needed changes in building code. This book documents atelierjones’ multifaceted approach of design, research and advocacy and shows an attractive selection of the projects that have resulted from it. Projects shown include the Marian Chapel in Seattle, the First Congregational Church in Bellevue, Washington, and the Roundhouse in Greenville, California, for the people of the MaiduPractical, hands-on survey with many details and construction photosLavishly illustrated and attractive cloth-bound volume
