TORONTO — Architects from around the world were honoured as the Canadian Wood Council announced the winning projects from the 40th annual Wood Design and Building Awards program.
The program celebrates the work of architects who achieve excellence in wood design and construction.
“This year’s submissions were remarkable in their scope, quality and variety. They reflect a rising interest in biomaterials and highlight the importance of wood as a versatile, low-carbon, high-performance material, driving the next generation of sustainable buildings,” stated wood council vice-president Martin Richard in a release.
