Why Mass Timber Feels Good - with Andre Lema

from Building Good Hosted by Jessica Loughlin, Joanne Hignett, Katie Jensen, Jen Hancock, Jay Cockburn, Sabrina Brathwaite

For thousands of years, humans have built with wood. Today, mass timber is changing the way we design, build, and experience our spaces. It’s strong, fire-resistant, and capable of storing carbon, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional building materials. And beyond its structural benefits, wood also connects us to nature, improving well-being through biophilic design. Andre Lema, Business Development Manager at Western Archrib, breaks down the benefits of biophilic design, how mass timber is reducing carbon emissions, and why architects and developers are embracing wood for everything from rec centers to high-rises.
