Synopsis
With the increase in mass timber buildings across Houston, how has our understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of mass timber architecture evolved? Using the design, construction, and operations journey of a recently completed hybrid steel and mass timber building at the Houston Zoo, this presentation provides a fresh perspective on the environmental, economic, and constructability advantages for our region. Lessons from this project will help owners and design teams maximize the benefits and minimize the challenges of mass timber in the Gulf Coast Region and help identify when mass timber – or hybrid systems – offer the most value.
