01 DESCRIPTION
Exploring the potential of contemporary engineered lumber, M2X3 has crafted a progressive tectonic system for application in midrise construction. Maximizing on the ability of wood to be used as both a tensile and compressive member, bending tests were conducted to determine timber’s ability to achieve complex curvature displaying the diverse framing possibilities not currently taken advantage of in traditional post and beam construction.
