Sidewalk Labs Mass Timber Resources

Here is another set of references that some of you might find helpful from my time at Sidewalk Labs (Part of Google). We wrote a series of articles outlining our work designing a prefabricated kit of parts using timber as the structural material for buildings up to 18 stories (and beyond!).

Big shout out to Mark Bauernhuber, AIA, LEED AP and Lily Hui Huang for their co-authorship, and of course Eric Jaffe for teaching us how to break out of our technical speak for more accessibility to a wider audience!
