Michael Green (architect)

Michael Green (born 1966)[1] is a Canadian architect and author of books on mass timber construction. The Case for Tall Wood Buildings [2][3] is a case study on using materials such as cross-laminated timber panels and engineered glulam wood beams to build skyscrapers as tall as 30 storeys, originally prepared in 2012 by Green, Equilibrium Consulting, LMDG Ltd. and BTY Group.[4][5] Green also coauthored Tall Wood Buildings: Design, Construction and Performance, which was published by Birkhäuser in 2017.[6][7] In March 2020, Birkhäuser published the second and expanded edition of this book.[8][9] In 2013, Green gave a TED talk titled “Why we should build Wooden Skyscrapers’.[10] In 2014, Green received an honorary doctorate degree from the University of Northern British Columbia.[11]

Michael Green is the founder of Design Build Research[12] and Timber Online Education,[13] a non-profit school and research platform dedicated to teaching the design and construction of socially, culturally and environmentally relevant student-led installations with a focus in systemic change in building for climate, environment, disaster and global shelter needs. Green’s architecture firm Michael Green Architecture designed the seven-story T3 building in Minneapolis, which was built using 3,600 cubic metres of wood, and is intended to sequester about 3,200 tonnes of carbon for the life of the building.[14][15]

gollark: There's GNU/Linux distros for phones, like PostmarketOS, but because of the utter mess that is bootloaders and drivers on ARM they only work for a few devices.
gollark: I mean, Google isn't forced to, users sort of are.
gollark: It's not a trade-off which anyone is actually *forced* to make.
gollark: Which they *could* have done in a sane, open-source way, like GNU/Linux is somehow able to.
gollark: Separation of concerns is good, but it's *bad* that they're separating it into "now lacking in use open source components" and "proprietary spying Play Services code".
