The Mass Timber Revolution

The Mass Timber Academy presents The Mass Timber Revolution, its new exhibition highlighting the virtues of engineered solid laminate (mass) timber products and systems in the construction of a low-carbon, energy-efficient, and healthier built environment for the next three quarters of the 21st century. 

The exhibition invites you to understand more about mass timber and why it is important that we now think seriously about what we build and why. 

The world is changing around us, and many old certainties may no longer apply in the future. This is certainly true when we consider global warming and the impact this is having on the increasingly unusual ways existing buildings perform. Even after a quarter century of use in the UK, Mass Timber is still not well known here by much of the country’s building industry or by the wider public. Yet internationally, this is one of the fastest-growing areas of design and construction and one that future design professionals trying and graduating here need to become familiar with. 

The exhibition is closed during the weekends (Saturday and Sunday)

A&DS:SpACE is a collaborative venue created by Architecture and Design Scotland and Space for Architecture, Carbon & Environment. Through exhibitions, events and public programming, it provides a platform for conversations about architecture, design, sustainability, placemaking and the future of Scotland's built environment.
