Strong by Form has developed a structural floor piece that can span longer distances than existing engineered wood, making it a potential replacement for steel or concrete, while being lighter than all three.
According to the World Green Building Council, the materials and construction required to erect buildings contribute 11% of global carbon emissions. Some places have started experimenting with multistory timber buildings, but they are not yet ready to replace skyscrapers.
“We’re more into hybrid buildings,”
said Andrés Mitnik, co-founder and CEO of Strong by Form, indicating the company's focus on innovative building solutions.
The company will showcase its ultralight engineered wood at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025.
