Nordic Structures and Denk & Roche are teaming up to present on the success of the recently completed landmark A.R.T. project for Harvard. The panel will demonstrate how rigorous engineered planning in pre-construction combined with creativity on a dynamic job site solved the many complex problems the project presented. The theater consists of an interconnected set of adaptable and versatile spaces, designed to accommodate future evolutions and foster creativity. The building offers a model for the next generation of cultural architecture, integrating the fundamental principles of openness, artistic flexibility, collaboration, sustainability, and regenerative design. The structure relies on a glulam post-and-beam system for gravity loads, in parallel with CLT shear walls forming the lateral force-resisting system.

Cost per square foot doesn't work for mass timber. So how do you know if a project pencils before you spend a year and a small fortune?
Mass timber projects succeed or fail on the design decisions made early. Member sizing and bay geometry drive structural performance, fabrication cost, and erection speed.
This session explores the growing shift from site-built construction to factory-driven delivery in mass timber projects.
In the 5 to 10 story accommodation market (hotels, student housing, residential, social housing), light frame wall systems can't reach that height leaving concrete as the default.
This panel explores the real-world coordination required to deliver a complex mass timber project, using Ullrhof in Aspen as a case study.
Mass timber doesn't have to be the primary structural system to show up in a building
