Introducing PMX: Our model for how tall timber buildings could work in cities

We spent last year creating a digital proof-of-concept for how to design and manufacture a tall timber building. This two-part blog series unpacks our key findings.

Exploration 1: How to design a timber building that can reach 35 stories or more

In the first part of our series, we describe two tactics that help our tall timber proto-model resist forces like wind.

Exploration 2: How to design a timber building that’s easy to make in a factory

In the second part of our series, we explain how we modified the design of our tall timber proto-model to support manufacturing and assembly.
