Abstract
Looking at the contemporary practices of multi-story timber buildings reveals to us that they usually follow the tectonic language of concrete constructions. However, with a paradigm shift to sustainability, we need to rethink the way we design and construct. In other words, with a material alteration from concrete as the primary material of the 20th century to mass timber as the sustainable
material of the current century, there is a need for a tectonic shift from concrete to wood. We need to consider the characteristics of the newly engineered wooden materials regarding the fact that they brought the structure and architecture back together since their divorce in the modern movement.
