Hybrid mass timber is often the smarter structural choice. But it comes with a trade-off most teams just accept. The exposed steel beam, the ductwork overhead, a finished building that doesn't quite look like the one we had in mind.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stop Waiting for Better Building Products w/ Zenon Radewych of WZMH Architects
Q: What impact does AI have on younger architects and on the lab's work?
AI is viewed as a huge enabler, especially for small firms, enabling faster, higher-quality work and new capabilities like AI-assisted design and 3D printing to localize manufacturing, which could expand opportunities for customization and speed.
Stop Waiting for Better Building Products w/ Zenon Radewych of WZMH Architects
Q: Is Sparkbird meant to take ideas all the way to market, or is it more of an ideation and collaboration hub?
Sparkbird is primarily an early R&D space for experimentation and talent attraction, with commercialization often handed off to partners or shelved if not ready, reflecting a deliberate long horizon mindset.
Stop Waiting for Better Building Products w/ Zenon Radewych of WZMH Architects
Q: Inside Sparkbird, how do you decide what to work on?
Decisions aren't driven by a fixed program; the team follows sparks from client meetings, global challenges, and emerging needs, allowing ideas to evolve into multiple related concepts and sometimes spin off new lines like Giraffe for software.
Mass Timber Urban Renewal w/Doug Hayden & Mitchell Brooks of Arthroto
Q: Why mass timber for these redevelopment projects?
To achieve speed, quality, and ROI while offering better guest and resident experiences, with the added benefit of offsite construction and integrated technology that minimizes on-site disruption.
East Coast vs West Coast: The Mass Timber Gap w/Kristin Slavin of Conifer Advising
Q: What would be your advice for designers or architects on the East Coast who are interested in Mass Timber but haven't started yet?
Architects are generally interested and open to Mass Timber; the challenge is understanding where to access reliable information and, crucially, how to sell the value to the developer by focusing on schedule, cost implications, quality, and a more predictable, higher-performing building.

What is This Podcast about and what kind of topics does it cover?

Industry-focused conversations centered on mass timber adoption across a range of building types, from data centers and housing to warehouses and façades. Episodes often feature engineers, architects, developers, and manufacturing leaders discussing practical challenges, cost and schedule impacts, and technical strategies—such as DFMA, envelope performance, prefab systems, and industrialized construction—to accelerate delivery and reduce embodied carbon. A notable pattern is emphasis on early collaboration with manufacturers and inspectors, real-world project lessons, and scalable, repeatable production models that push mass timber from niche applications toward mainstream, multi-story and high-rise building programs. The format tends to bl... more
