From Talk to Timber: Inspiring Client Action in Mass Timber
RDG Senior Partner and Architect Benjamin Kroll joins project leaders from Gensler and Hanbury for a dynamic panel exploring how design teams and clients are advancing mass timber projects from early vision through execution.
Kroll will share RDG’s perspective during a concise five-minute “show and tell,” highlighting key decisions, challenges and lessons learned that influenced the adoption of mass timber and other sustainable strategies.
Following the presentations, Craig Borum, professor at the Taubman School of Architecture, will lead a moderated discussion focused on what it truly takes to move mass timber from concept to construction.
