“Mass Timber Design and Research” by architect Susan Jones, the owner of Seattle-based atelierjones, is a handy resource for learning about the emergence of Mass Timber construction technology in the U.S. Thanks to publisher ORO Editions, Archinect is giving away five copies of the book to our readers!
The book presents years of research by Jones' firm, her family, and her University of Washington students. As a prominent voice in the Mass Timber dialogue in the U.S., Jones' book starts with the story of her family's sustainable forest practices that have been going on for three generations.
The book delves into Pacific Northwest forestry, timber and Cross-Laminated Timber manufacturing practices and carbon analysis, and carbon comparisons between standard building construction assemblies and technologies.
It concludes with model buildings designed by atelierjones and Jones' students, including a church, schools, multi- and single-family residences, and a 12-story Tall Timber Wood tower on the University of Washington Seattle campus.

Attended a workshop in Susan's office last week. I'd like to get involved in a project utilizing mass timber to win time in the construction schedule. Who knows what the future will bring ;-)
