Elegant span of Hanger 4

10 March 2026

If you missed the passionate presentation by our WoodWorks Conference speakers last October on the Air New Zealand Hangar 4 design and build, we’ve got an in-depth architect’s view from Andrew Barrie at University of Auckland for ArchitectureNow. He presents some great considerations about the role of mass timber.

WoodWorks Issue – 10 Mar 2026

Welcome

Greetings for your regular ‘Timber Tuesday’ update: This week our first two features are local good news stories. Both projects have been well publicised and are great ambassadors for mass timber to the wider architectural and infrastructure communities. The role of timber in facilitating a great look and sustainable outcome for their owners is stunning and worth celebrating. Two other important categories feature in the next two stories; adaptive reuse and industrial buildings. Enjoy. If your team has a stunning case study you would like to share with our WoodWorks Conference audience in October – call me and email the details please. Happy ‘masstimbering’!
