WASHINGTON, June 6, 2024 (Newswire.com) - WoodWorks – Wood Products Council has announced its 2024 Wood in Architecture award winners, celebrating excellence and innovation in mass timber, heavy timber, light-frame, and hybrid building design. The annual award program recognizes developers and design teams using wood in innovative ways that positively impact the environment, occupants, and communities throughout the U.S.  

“In schools, offices, and community gathering spaces, this year’s winning projects exemplify wood’s undeniably positive influence in modern design. To the designers whose ingenuity and dedication make innovative wood projects happen—thank you for inspiring others to consider wood solutions, across building types and at any scale,” said WoodWorks President and CEO, Jennifer Cover.  

The winning projects showcase innovative design from coast to coast—and point to wood as a fixture in sustainable and flexible design. Winners include an office building with a nearly all-mass timber frame in a high-seismic area, a temporary outdoor structure that signifies environmental justice, educational and institutional structures, and multi-family housing. An independent jury of design and building professionals reviewed, deliberated, and selected the winning projects based on four criteria: design excellence, innovative use of wood, sustainability and resilience, and market impact.
