Prized for its ability to sequester carbon, mass timber, including cross-laminated timbers, glulam beams, and laminated veneer lumber, is entering a critical second phase of its development as a beneficial and stylish building material for nonresidential buildings. Join award-winning author Boyce Thompson on a global tour of 16 of the most innovative and stylish projects made with mass timber.

- Projects such as the intricate Swatch headquarters in Switzerland, the world's tallest mass timber building in Milwaukee, WI, and a fairytale experience at the Hans Christian Andersen Museum in Denmark
- Sidebars on carbon sequestration, moisture control, and acoustic properties of mass timber
- Information on how software and computer-controlled robotic saws work with wood's malleability to revolutionize millwork
- Details on how mass timber maximizes forest yields by utilizing small-diameter trees that might otherwise be wasted
- The benefits of how quickly and more accurately mass timber buildings go together with less waste and less neighborhood noise
