Ask any architect or engineer—timber is growing (no pun intended) on everyone. Mass timber construction is on the rise from the Pacific Northwest to the Deep South, promising new potentialities in tactile design and engineering; all while offering aesthetically pleasing solutions to sustainability goals. TimberCon 2021, hosted in partnership with the Mass Timber Institute will foreground exemplary timber projects across North America; identify best-case practices for their assembly; and spotlight emerging technologies within this exciting field.

Structural timber is increasingly common across a breadth of building scales. But, for better or worse, it is often deployed as a literal replacement for steel and concrete; a mirror of the ubiquitous rectilinear structural systems associated with contemporary construction. This panel will focus on two projects, 2150 Keith Drive and the Idaho Central Credit Union Arena, and how the design and engineering teams developed innovative structural systems that step outside of this box paradigm.
1:40 PM ET - 1:50 PM ET
1:50 PM ET - 2:20 PM ET
2:20 PM ET - 2:50 PM ET
2:50 PM ET - 3:50 PM ET
The construction industry is the elephant in the room when it comes to conversations on climate change and sustainability. Mass timber is touted as a potential tool to address excesses of this sprawling economic sector; but, the question remains, what can architects and engineers do to maximize the material’s potential and the sustainability of new projects? These experts will dive into their recent projects and research on the subject, and engage in a robust discussion with audience Q&A.
3:50 PM ET - 4:00 PM ET
4:00 PM ET - 5:00 PM ET

Tall wood and hybrid systems are the high-profile stars of mass timber design and construction coverage. Relatively lightweight and straightforward to assemble, the material is often overlooked as a structural system for infill or overbuild development. This panel will feature detailed presentations of Schiller Projects Brooklyn Mass Timber House and Rogers Partners Nanotronics facility at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
3:50 PM ET - 4:00 PM ET
4:00 PM ET - 5:00 PM ET
