What's the role of #MassTimber in tall building? Dr. Antony Wood, president of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat and professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology, shares his expertise on the future of urban #architecture. We start by dissecting the current trends in tall building design, from the uninspired rectilinear boxes to the competing sculptural icons that clutter our city skylines. Dr. Wood argues for a new architectural paradigm that champions sustainability and cultural integration, moving beyond mere technical feats to structures that genuinely enhance our urban environments.

We spotlight the role of regulations and incentives, showcasing successful examples from Europe and Singapore. Plus, get acquainted with the transformative potential of mass timber, a revolutionary material that promises a significant reduction in carbon footprints while offering robust structural integrity. This conversation underscores the urgent need for a carbon-focused economy and long-term urban planning supported by solid political frameworks.
