Building the Future: Cross Laminated Timber

Posted: 02 Mar 2022 11:30 PM PST

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) has been dubbed the concrete of the future. As a highly resilient form of engineered wood made by gluing layers of solid-sawn lumber together, CLT is reshaping how we understand architecture and design today. As a material with a high degree of flexibility, CLT has to undergo great deformations to break and collapse, unlike concrete. In turn, it's a material chosen for its warmth and natural properties.

Construction technology company ICON unveiled its newest 3D-printed project, "House Zero", designed by Texas-based firm Lake|Flato Architects. The project is the first in ICON's "Exploration Series," which seeks to highlight the architectural possibilities enabled by additive construction and develop new design languages with the purpose of "shifting the paradigm of homebuilding". The material honesty of the house combines the expression of robotic construction processes with the natural wood textures creating a timeless design.

3D Scanning Uncovers an Inca Water System Hidden beneath the Machu Picchu Jungle

Posted: 02 Mar 2022 09:00 PM PST

Machu Picchu, also known as "The Lost City of the Incas", located high in the Peruvian Andes (2430 m.a.s.l.) in Cuzco, is one of the most famous archaeological complexes and one of the 7 wonders of the modern world. It is here, under the dense foliage of the surrounding jungle, that a network of hidden river channels has been discovered.

Varnishes, Stains, Oils, Waxes: What are the Most Suitable Finishes for Wood?

Posted: 02 Mar 2022 08:00 PM PST

In recent years, much attention has been given to timber constructions. Being a sustainable and renewable material, which captures a huge amount of carbon during its growth, the innovations related to this material have allowed for increasingly higher constructions. However, when we talk about wood we approach an immense variety of species, with different strengths, nuances, potentials, limitations and recommended uses. While there are extremely hard and heavy woods, with strengths comparable to concrete, there are other soft and soft woods that are suitable for other purposes.

DeCoding Asian Urbanism Grapples with Asia’s Unprecedented Growth

As is obvious to anyone with even a passing interest in demographics, cities are becoming denser—much denser. Rural life continues its steady emptying-out as urban life accelerates its explosive filling-in. The tilt has been apparent at least since the middle of the last century when the French geographer Jean Gottmann invented the word "megalopolis" to describe the continuous urbanization from Boston to Washington, D.C., then containing one-fifth of the United States' population. But nowhere has the shift from countryside to city been more dramatic than in present-day Asia.
