So there's a new exhibition in New York City's Skyscraper Museum which chronicles the rise of mass timber construction , and so it moves all away from the construction system , which is the material components , the timber , the engineering , and looks at the last 15 years of it as being an alternative to concrete and steel , in no part due to its carbon storage potential
. And now tall timber the future of cities in wood is an exhibition which then provides people with an understanding about what it means to build , you know , tall timber or mass timber construction .
And specifically within New York , with its new mandate for life cycle assessment for new buildings , this is a great step forward to create an education for people there . So if you'd like to check out the exhibition , head to New York City and see it for yourself . York City and see it for yourself .
And earlier this week the Barnaby City Council approved the construction contract for a brand new James Cohen Theatre at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts . The existing theatre is located in Barnaby's Civic Precinct on the north side of Deer Lake , near Barnaby City Hall , which is being eyed for a redevelopment for the Barnaby Village Museum .
This replacement of existing theatre , which was built in the 1940s , will take on a new configuration which will include the use of mass timber construction . If you'd like to read more about the new $55 million art centre , please head to our Mass Timber Construction Journal LinkedIn feed .
