    My name is Alex Novo, I’m a photographer.

    The world without photography will be meaningless to us if there is no light and color, which opens up our minds and expresses passion.

    Wood City applies mass timber engineering to standard real estate products that shape the built environment. Suburban offices, fast-food restaurants, metal warehouses, big-box grocers, garden apartments, single-family houses, hotels, self-storage facilities, assisted living facilities, strip-shopping centers, etc. constitute 75% of the built environment. Given that the U.S. will double its built environment in one generation and the urgency to develop low-carbon futures, what if cities were built from the only construction system sequestering carbon and engineered to be energy positive—wood?
