Canadians onboard the wooden train with awards

Canadian architecture is jumping on board the recent trend toward wooden structures. Newly developed engineering processes have revolutionised the use of timber in structures, making it hardier and far more workable than ever before for large-scale urban development. Source: Design Build Source

Now, the Wood Design Awards at the 12th annual Ontario Wood Works awards program recognizes those architects who show the best the new trend has to offer.

The awards night is described by executive direction Marianna Berube as a celebration of the evolution of wood-based architecture.

“These are exciting times for wood design,” said Berube. “Ongoing technical advancement in the forest product and construction industries, alongside creative design thinking, is giving rise to an incredible new generation of wood buildings.”

The awards program presented awards in categories including the Ontario Wood Award, Green Building Wood Design Award, Interior Design Wood Award, Residential, multi-unit and many more.
