Canadian mass-timber pioneer Michael Green has hit out at architects designing unusually shaped buildings rather than embracing biomaterials as part of Dezeen’s Timber Revolution series. Using engineered wood products to replace concrete and steel is a step in the right direction but should not be considered the endgame, said Green. “Too many architects are saying, ‘Oh, I did a mass-timber building. Check the box. I’m a sustainable architect’,” Green told Dezeen. “There is no such thing as being a sustainable architect.” …Steel and concrete are “archaic” …”Those are industrial-age materials. Every building you go into should be bio-based, and I think we will be there in 10 years. If you’re an architect not thinking that way, you’re a dinosaur,” he continued.” …”I think way too many people around climate think that there’s going to be some miraculous solution that’s invented by Elon Musk, it’s not. It’s gonna be invented by architects.”
