Timber is approached here as a systemic transformation rather than a material trend. Industrialised mass timber frameworks are analysed through carbon accounting, regulatory evolution, and public policy instruments, while digital scan-to-fabrication workflows enable the reuse of irregular logs through robotic precision and material passports. Together, these investigations redefine wood as infrastructural system—linking governance, fabrication intelligence, and reversible assembly within contemporary construction culture.
