[综合] 加拿大木结构创新设计中心

加拿大木结构建筑的长期领军者Michael Green Architecture最近开始着手动工北美最高的木结构建筑——27.5米高的“木结构创新设计中心”（WIDC）。这个建筑将展出木材作为一种可持续的建筑材料，在全世界范围内广泛利用，以此为契机来提高当地的木材产业，同时也想寻求木建筑新的可能性。该建筑包含一个夹层、教室、办公室和公共美术馆（在一层，还包括一个酒吧间和平台），使人充分体验木结构的建筑。这栋建筑归英属哥伦比亚省所有，所以除了办公室和公共空间外，这里之后将会作为北英属哥伦比亚大学的工程硕士课程的专业教室。这个建筑几乎完全是由木材构成，除了金属连接和基础。传统电梯间为混凝土材料，这里也破格用了密度和大小符合防火等级的薄木板来制成。建筑采用框架结构，使外墙能有更大的开口面积，接受更多的自然光，也能开阔室内的视野；但同时使用低辐射玻璃和隔热木材保证室内不会太热。地板和天花板都采用厚木板（MTP），保证了侧向稳定性和室内装修的木材基调，这为未来的木结构设计提供了新的可能。

Long-time champions of timber construction and Canadian practice Michael Green Architecture will soon break ground on North America’s tallest wooden building. Standing at 27.5 meters， the 'wood innovation design center (WIDC)' will exhibit wood as a sustainable building material widely available around the globe， and aims to improve the local lumber economy while standing as a testament to new construction possibilities. The structure will contain a mezzanine level， classrooms， offices， and a public gallery on the ground floor dedicated to the palpable experience of wood， lounges， and a rooftop deck. Owned by the state， the project will also house the university of northern British Columbia’s masters of engineering program in addition to private office and public spaces. The structure will be made almost entirely of wood， save for metal connections and a concrete foundation. Even the elevator core， which is traditionally made in concrete， will be made of thick timber panels whose density and size afford the appropriate fire rating characteristics. The framing system allows for a greater facade transparency， accepting natural light and extending views with a low emissivity glass skin and opaque timber screens that help control solar gain. Floor and ceiling slabs will be composed of mass timber panels (MTP) that provide lateral stability in addition to eliminating the need for surface finishes， and provide for many new design opportunities for future wood constructs.图包下载
