Tall Wood, Thin Concrete: Digitally Drafting and Crafting in UHPC (Ultra High Performance Concrete) and Mass Timber

This paper illustrates how a graduate design studio can seek out an innovative and comprehensive design process, while simultaneously addressing two current crises in the architectural profession: 1) A perceived disconnect between the abstraction of design education and the realities of practice; and, 2) The critically time sensitive imperative of transforming ecological practices in building materials and building energy consumption.
