Mass timber is revolutionizing construction. In comparison to traditional concrete and steel, it offers a low-carbon alternative while bringing a natural aesthetic to buildings. Tune in and subscribe to the Shaping Sustainable Places podcast to hear experts Andrew Waugh from Waugh Thistleton Architects and Dean Lewis from Skanska USA discuss what’s so good about wood. https://lnkd.in/gSBssikE   #ShapingSustainablePlaces #KnowledgeAndForesight #masstimber #podcast

It is environment friendly and durable however it is expensive. It is natural that Skanska supports it because Scandinavian countries are colder and rich in wood and their economy relies on timber trade however, natural resources will not last forever with the environment getting warmer.
