PLAIN DESIGN*BUILD – At the Intersection of Architecture & Forestry presentation

PLAIN DESIGN * BUILD works at the intersection of architecture and forestry with projects advancing contemporary forms of timber architecture.

UMass Department of Building & Construction Technology will hold a PLAIN DESIGN*BUILD – At the Intersection of Architecture & Forestry presentation on Monday, October 28^th at 4 pm at Room 170 in the Olver Design Building in Amherst.

The talk by Jason Grifith from the University of Nebraska Lincoln, proposes an architectural language for the emerging technology of engineered lumber construction highlighting forms of mass timber construction that support location-based material flows and non-extractive timber production.

The lecture will also foster diverse forestry ecosystems and low embodied carbon, providing alternatives to mainstream timber construction.
