Studies show that climate change will reach a tipping point where the negative impacts are "irreversible" in the next ten years or less. The built environment is accountable for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions through the energy it uses & the carbon emitted to create it. The carbon in these buildings persist into the atmosphere for 50-200 years. The article attached by Think Wood is focused on describing buildings as "carbon banks," with logic that building components would need to sequester more carbon emissions throughout their lifetime than they emit. This new mindset completely changes the process architecture & construction. It places a larger emphasis on the entire life

Cross Laminated Timber is gaining traction across the globe! CLT first became a big hit internationally, before it ever made its appearance in the United States. Europe started the Mass Timber Movement by first introducing CLT back in the 1900s, particularly in Australia and Germany. CLT began as a university project that an Austrian Doctoral student, named Gerhard Schickhofer undertook a few decades ago. He valued the impact that this very strong building material could have on the industry. This strong-material also turned out to be very environmentally friendly, even though that was not his main focus in the beginning. Now there are over 100 CLT manufacturers across the world.

The Beauty of Glulam Beams DR Johnson is known to provide custom, quality, and beautiful glu-laminated beams. Exposed structural glu-laminated timber provides structures with a warmth and beauty that does not compare with other building materials. What is a glulam? Glulam is glued laminated timbers pressed together to create a single structural beam or column. DR Johnson's glulam's are made completely custom from locally sourced Douglas Fir. DRJ offers four different appearance grades; industrial, architectural, premium, and framing grades.

The Sideyard project in Portland Oregon was recognized by Archidust, as a strengthening connection between the Eastside community and the westside downtown urban core. This unique 9,000 sf space was created when the City of Portland built a new one-way street which reconnected the roadway to the Burnside bridge. The building was designed to fit on a unique urban property as a working-class building, targeting public transportation connectivity. The small lot and busy urban traffic, created a more challenging design and construction. DRJ Cross-Laminated Timber and Glu-lam beams served as the buildings main structural components.
