Вставка

- Michael Green is a founding principal at Vancouver's McFarlane Green Biggar Architecture + Design (mgb). Recognized for his award winning buildings, public art, interiors, landscapes and urban environments, Michael's reputation has led him to develop a wide range of projects from international airports and skyscrapers to Vancouver's Ronald McDonald House and modest but unique retail spaces and homes. His work extends around the globe including a current project for the Aga Khan Trust for Culture designing a sustainable community in the mountains of Central Asia.
Michael is dedicated to bringing attention to several of the overwhelming challenges in architecture today. The first is climate change and how the built environment is an enormous contributor to the factors damaging the very environment designers and architects are seeking to improve. The second, is the profound reality that over the next 20 years, 3 billion people, or 40% of the world, will need a new affordable home. In short, solving the world's massive shelter shortage with today's building approaches will ironically trigger further environmental turmoil. Michael believes in championing the shift to new ways of building that will compliment the intersection of man's greatest building challenges.

IF IT AIN'T WOOD!!! IT AIN'T GOOD !!!!
Sorry, but I have to ask: What about termites, carpenter ants, and fungi? They come up from below. Once the first floor is compromised, the whole structure can tumble down. How do you prevent this in a way that does not compromise the health of the residents?

From research I have done when building my house + from experience of my friends, wood is an unstable, unreliable material, which if treated with fire, rot-proofing, etc. is also hazardous. So I don't see how it could be a solution.
He is using mix of LVL and CLT panels with fire resistance up to 100mins. Wood is very stable and very reliable material if you know how to work with it. If you want to see good example how to build wooden structures look at Europe. USA is a very bad example
