And Sugaruban and Ukraine based studio ABMK have created a six story design for Ukraine's largest hospital , and the building will be located in the central atrium area , containing a reception area surrounded by open wooden columns at that form of rectangular block that is the lattice facade and pronounced timber canopy at the entrance .
The collaboration will deliver the new surgical centre for the existing emergency hospital and will be able to treat more patients , obviously specifically related to the war . The purpose of the project is to increase the hospital's capacity and address an urgent need for additional space . Congratulations to everybody on that project .
If you want to see more , head to our LinkedIn feed and heading to Wisconsin .
Now and the grain in the city of Dullerfield is the first Master Timber Development at 705 Genesee Street , and it's a $25 million development featuring a two four story combination of buildings which are under construction since about 2022 , and they're currently getting to the point where the Master Timber elements are being delivered to site and it's going to be an
impressive project . The grain will feature two buildings of 60,000 square feet of office space and 18,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space , with 125 parking spots . If you'd like to check out the building , you can go to our LinkedIn feed and see all the details on our page .
And creating quite interest on the LinkedIn social media feed for us is the Moxon Architects Pedestrian and Cycle Bridge in the town of Balangan in Germany . The design is a collaboration with the architect and an engineer that specializes in bridges , and the footbridge embodies the town's ambitious dual commitment to design excellence and sustainable future .
So it's offering a sympathetic response to the natural river setting and it was unveiled in 2023 earlier this year and it is an impressive site . If you want to go and have a look , please join the many people that are looking at that on our LinkedIn feed social media page . And sad news this week the end of an era is .
Dr Johnson Wood Innovations has decided to sell off all of its mass timber cross laminated timber plant equipment . On July 10 they began showing the equipment , which includes a press , a Hyundai Garcia and C etc .
And it is a wonderful thing to see the equipment still being offered into the marketplace so that people can take an opportunity to develop mass timber elements themselves . And we would just like to say thank you , dr Johnson , for being innovators in this space for a long time and congratulations on being such good leaders .
And finally , this week , coming out of the UK , the House of Commons Environmental Audit Committee has provided a seeing the wood for the trees the contribution of forestry and timber sectors to biodiversity and net zero goals . This is the fifth report in the season for 2022-23 and is available in full on our mass timber construction journal LinkedIn Feed .
Please go and have a read if you have anything to do with trying to achieve net zero or biodiversity , or even an interest in just timber in general . It's an interesting read to see how the UK government is addressing the situations in the UK .
Equally , there is still the opening for the call for a review on the European Union's approach to meeting the Paris Accord targets by talking about carbon decarbonisation , circular economy , the use of products like CLT , mass Timber and other biobased products , and you can have your opinion either inside the EU or outside the EU . It matters not where you're situated .
They are looking at comments from all walks of all people from around the world , and if you have expertise in that area , you might want to make a contribution , just as I have . So look out for that . If you go to our LinkedIn feed , you'll be able to see the link to the survey and please consider participating . So that's it , folks .
That's all we've got time for this week in Mass Timber Construction Land News . Look forward to bringing the news next week . Had a couple of weeks off in between , so there will be a few episodes that are sort of skipped in terms of weekly content . But back on board now for the remainder of the year and we will see the year out strong .
Thank you for being a listener to this podcast , thank you for contributing to our social media feed and don't forget , if you are a researcher and you have a research paper and you want global recognition for your research , the Mass Timber Construction Journal Academic Arm has a great impact factor and is getting some great traction in terms of its appropriate impact
