Kobe – Japan’s oak trees are confronting a pandemic. But this crisis began long before COVID-19, and the threat comes in the form of a fungus carried by insect pests rather than a virus. Known as nara-gare (oak wilt disease), oak trees are withering and dying en masse nationwide, which has put the health of
Researchers in Maine are testing a new approach to 3D printing homes, swapping out the standard concrete “ink” for a 100% recyclable material made of wood waste and bio-resins. They’ve already built a prototype house out of the material, and if it can withstand the harsh Maine winter, they hope to scale up to printing
Architect Steven Paynter has helped figure out a faster way to see if empty offices can be turned into housing. Parambir Singh/Insider Architect Steven Paynter made an algorithm that checks if offices can be converted into apartments. Amid expiring leases and remote work, the office market is in crisis and housing is constrained. Converting offices
New real-world research is highlighting the safety of new tall wood buildings, as interest in timber construction continues to grow across Canada and the globe. Published in the peer-reviewed Fire Technology journal in July 2022, the article “Apartment Buildings Constructed from Combustible and Non-combustible Construction Materials” by Alex Zheng, Len Garis and Ian Pike bolsters
