Remember a few weeks back when we ANNOUNCED that Vancouver architect, the always-inspiring Michael Green, had gone solo and started his own firm? I was reminded today by John at Wood Design (who just published THIS piece on Michael) about a small piece of that announcement which sortof got buried in the news that he had branched out on his own, so I wanted to re-shine a light on it today and remind you of how incredibly awesome it is:
He released an open source instruction manual on how to construct a 30 storey tower MADE OUT OF WOOD!
The document is 240 pages long and is entitled "The Case For Tall Wood Buildings: How Mass Timber Offers a Safe, Economical, and Environmentally Friendly Alternative for Tall Building Structures". It can be downloaded in its entirety for free RIGHT HERE. Wowza.
