The combination of digital technology and mass timber is transforming the way we design and build structures. In his closing remarks, Tobias Fast will explore how new digital design tools and material innovations are uniting to create more sustainable buildings and communities. Speaking from experience on innovative high-profile mass timber projects like Limberlost Place at George Brown University, the Ohana Montage Health Facility in California and the award-winning Fast + Epp Home Office in Vancouver, the closing presentation will focus on the future of timber in the digital environment and the design approaches and new methodologies being used in mass timber building design.
