Description

AIA International Taipei invites you to this event in partnership with the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC). This is the third of three AHEC-sponsored seminars on the most sustainable building material. 

The AIA 2030 Commitment requires architects to design and specify materials with low carbon in mind. As wood is the most sustainable material available, in this program, we will explore the benefits of specifying wood as a building material to fight climate change. Two active practicing architects in Taiwan will share their hands-on experiences with the use of wood in their buildings, constructions, and interiors.
