“Either you’re growing your materials or not. You’re getting
them from a forest or a mine.”
Lindsey Wikstrom is the Founding Principal of Mattaforma
and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at Columbia
Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. Her debut book, Designing the Forest and Other Mass Timber Futures, argues that to overcome obstacles to wide adoption of mass timber as a building material, we need to think differently about our relationship to trees, buildings, and each other.
