The article, “Will Pure Wooden High-Rise Building Be a Game Changer for Decarbonization, Obayashi Corporation’s Challenge” by Aaron Clark, Eddy Duan (2023), examines how modern wood technology and Japan's governing policies promote decarbonisation through Obayashi Corporation’s project.
The Port Plus, Obayashi Yokohama Training Centre, uses cross laminated timber (CLT) and laminated veneer lumber (LVL) as key structural elements. What differentiates it from similar buildings is the implementation of rigid cross joints, which bind columns and beams using glued in rods and a Japanese carpentry technique known as Nuki. (Port Plus, n.d.).
