Mass Timber Design and Research, by Susan Jones, presents new research and design work with Mass Timber, a new construction technology, well-known
in Europe, but relatively unfamiliar in the United States. Having built her own family's house with cross-laminated timber in 2015, Ms. Jones has been
leading the Mass Timber design dialogue in the US. Mass Timber presents years of research and design by her Seattle firm, her family, and her University of
Washington students. Opening with the story of three generations of her family's own sustainable forest practices, the book presents research into Pacific
Northwest forestry, timber and Cross-Laminated Timber manufacturing practices and carbon analysis, carbon comparisons between standard building construction assemblies and technologies, and concludes with model buildings designed by her firm,atelierjones and her University of Washington students.
These include a single-family house, a church, schools, multi-family housing, and a twelve-story Tall Timber Wood Innovation tower on the University of Washington
campus in Seattle.
