Calling all U.S. and Canadian students! ONE MONTH LEFT to submit to the "CTBUH 2024 Mass Timber Student Design Competition," kindly sponsored by Think Wood. This competition invites students currently enrolled at U.S. and Canada-based institutes to rethink tall buildings with the revolutionary potential of mass timber. The goal of the competition is to shed new light on the meaning and value of tall buildings in modern society, with a focus on multi-story, mass timber designs for affordable housing that emphasize rapid development. The only requirement: your design must be multi-storied, maximize the use and expression of mass timber, and adhere to the 2021 IBC building code. Consider incorporating prefabricated components or a volumetric modular approach to showcase the speed and efficiency of mass timber construction. ? Winners will earn global recognition, prizes, and a platform to meaningfully impact urban architecture. The submission deadline is 15 December 2024. ?
