Kelly will be speaking about the results of his research studio at the University of Toronto that has been looking at the embodied carbon and material provenance of contemporary construction. In 2020 the research studio focused on MUR in the GTHA - results that have been shared broadly and are now being built upon to expand a Part 3 benchmark study with the City of Toronto. This year's studio is focused on mass timber projects across North America and Europe.
