The pavilion, unveiled on September 17 at the opening of the Chicago Architecture Biennial, is a full-scale prototype of a single-story SLT structural framing system used in mid-rise, fire-resistant construction. Lighter in weight than conventional building framing methods, SLT reduces material use by 46% compared to a traditional cross-laminated timber panel. The pavilion demonstrates a solution that could dramatically reduce timber consumption and overall carbon footprint if used to construct an entire building.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1158\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1158\" style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1158\" src=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/SPLAM-2-_-Kendall-McCaugherty-\u00a9-HallMerrick-Photographers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/SPLAM-2-_-Kendall-McCaugherty-\u00a9-HallMerrick-Photographers.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/SPLAM-2-_-Kendall-McCaugherty-\u00a9-HallMerrick-Photographers-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/SPLAM-2-_-Kendall-McCaugherty-\u00a9-HallMerrick-Photographers-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/SPLAM-2-_-Kendall-McCaugherty-\u00a9-HallMerrick-Photographers-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/SPLAM-2-_-Kendall-McCaugherty-\u00a9-HallMerrick-Photographers-165x110.jpg 165w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/SPLAM-2-_-Kendall-McCaugherty-\u00a9-HallMerrick-Photographers-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/SPLAM-2-_-Kendall-McCaugherty-\u00a9-HallMerrick-Photographers-780x520.jpg 780w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kendall McCaugherty \u00a9 Hall+Merrick Photographers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWeaving together timber beams like threads in fabric, SPLAM explores the idea of using smaller pieces of wood than conventional mass timber construction systems.
