Description/Abstract
In the new book, Designing the Forest, and Other Mass Timber Futures, Wikstrom traces wood’s passage from forest to cross laminated walls through to the material’s discarded final return to earth’s soil, considering the enmeshed histories, economies, and philosophies; and ultimately outlining a path towards biodiverse mass timber cities. Designers today should feel empowered to more creatively imagine carbon not as a footprint but as a choreographed flow between forest, factory, site, and beyond.
