In Portland, we also have the world’s tallest mass timber building, Carbon12. Mass timber is definitely structural here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon

- audunw 2y agoNot the tallest in the world. It was surpassed by Mjøstårnet in Norway and now Ascent in Milwaukee is the tallest. It’s not even remotely close to the height of these new buildings. It’s 26m, while the three tallest now are around 85m. Not to say it’s not impressive anyway. I applaud all the progress that has been made in replacing concrete with wood in large buildings. We should build more buildings like that (as long as we source wood sustainably)
- directevolve 2y agoWhoops, thanks for the correction on the height - tallest in the US, at least at the time it was built.
