Press release :

“Ottawa, ON, March 2, 2022 – Wood Design & Building magazine announces the winning projects of the 38th annual Wood Design & Building Awards program. The influential awards program recognizes and celebrates the outstanding work of visionaries around the world who achieve excellence in wood architecture.

The awards this year showcase an eclectic mix of structures. Winners include a social housing apartment in Spain, a ski club in Canada, and a flagship restaurant for a major chain fast food chain in the U.S. Also among the winners is the first Passive House–certified community center in Canada. This year, more than ever, it is apparent that architects and engineers are designing with sustainability in mind.

A new addition to this year’s program is the ‘Against the Grain’ award. This award recognizes an individual who has made significant contributions to the wood industry. This year’s inaugural recipient is Dr. Nancy Mackin. Her architectural mandate—that each building can contribute to environmental and cultural resilience—is exemplified in the Tsawwassen First Nation Youth Centre. Dr. Mackin included the Tsawwassen First Nation community in many architectural decisions and invited Tsawwassen artists to design both interior and exterior elements of the Center.

“As the global architectural community tackles critical challenges that include reducing the carbon footprint of the built environment and meeting the vast and growing need for housing, it is clear that responsible development requires buildings that consider both embodied energy and operational impact,” said Andrew Bowerbank, Vice-President of Market Development for the Canadian Wood Council. “Wood construction is an avenue for delivering the beautiful, sustainable, high-performance buildings of today and tomorrow.”

Wood Design & Building magazine and the Canadian Wood Council extend their appreciation to all participants in the 2021/22 awards program and thank both the program’s sponsors for their ongoing support, and the esteemed members of the jury for their time and expertise. The members of this year’s jury are:
