Mass timber has the potential to usher in a three-fold revolution in the way we build.• An ecological revolution because of the enormous sustainability bene ts of mass timber over its non renewable, fossil-based counterparts.• An economical, functional and technical revolution through the integration of ICT-based production technologies to support prefabrication of complete building systems in factories, increasing quality, safety and building speed.• An aesthetic and well-being revolution made possible by the spectacular possibilities of parametric design and the substantial psychological and health benefits of mass timber.Abundantly illustrated, Tomorrow’s Timber covers all the above topics based on the latest scientific insights and statistics and lessons learned from practice. Also included are inspiring case studies from all over the world, which show that the mass timber revolution has already begun.
Recensies
A book which provides deep insight in the potential of timber constructions, both stressing the sustainability potential of timber and technical details for construction professionals. A must-read for those who want to work on a futureproof built environment!

I am a landscape designer, so whilst the information on buildings is not directly relevant (it is inspiring), there is a lot of information that is directly relevant, such as how timber fits into the bio-economy and modifications to timber, which vastly improve its durability and functionality. This is a truly fascinating and inspiring book. Thank you!

Dit boek bruist van de creativiteit, vernuft en vakmanschap. Tijdens het lezen verwonder ik mijzelf waarom we eigenlijk nog met steen bouwen. Hout heeft zoveel meer mogelijkheden tot expressie en individualiteit, dat het zijn gebruikers vrolijk maakt. De voorbeelden zijn een goede verzameling van het mooiste dat hout op dit moment te bieden heeft.

Tomorrow’s Timber is an excellent overview of modern building techniques in timber. With an emphasis on modern wood products, made from laminated wood; these allow much architectural freedom. Right at the start, the book dispels four timber myths, prejudices about building in timber. Like that a timber building is not safe in case of fire. The book argues against these prejudices. In short, on the opening page; and at length, in the entire book.
