Timber isnot only a sustainable material, it also creates warm, welcoming, shelteringspaces that offer an emotional quality to their users. Light on Wood isa very personal story about how to design and build with mass timber. AuthorSusan H. Jones, a native of the Pacific Northwest with its seemingly endlessforests, founded atelierjones in Seattle some 20 years ago. This pioneeringpractice has since made a name for itself by working to decarbonize our builtenvironment. It carefully investigated the behavior of wood in case of fire, inan effort to rewrite the code, and undertook life cycle analyses to further thebody of research on timber. Changes in building codes have since helped toreestablish this traditional building material in many countries. But theoffice also designed many beautiful buildings, often developed in cooperationwith local communities.
