Architizer is thrilled to announce the winners of the\u00a011th Annual A+Awards<\/b><\/a>! Interested in participating next season? Sign up for key information about the\u00a012th Annual A+Awards,<\/a>\u00a0set to launch this fall.<\/em><\/p>\n The new EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) has now been enacted as part of the wider European Union Green Deal. This mandates heightened due diligence on the value chain for operators and traders in various commodities, including soy, palm oil, cattle, coffee and wood.<\/p>\n Between 1990 and 2008, the bloc\u2019s imports in products now covered by the\u00a0revised rules<\/a> amounted to 36% of total associated deforestation worldwide. The changes won\u2019t bring an end to this, but any firm that wants to do business in the economic union, no matter where their headquarters, now needs to prove sustainable sourcing of these materials and that products have not contributed to deforestation that occurred after 31st December 2020.<\/p>\n Last\u00a0October, Construction Europe<\/a> reported on a lack of EUDR preparedness across built environment sectors within the context of a rise in timber as a building material. The \u2018plyscraper\u2019 race is perhaps the most visible sign of this, with several World\u2019s Tallest Timber Building hopefuls topping out in the past few years. Ascent by Korb + Associates<\/a> currently holds the title in Milwaukee, US, at 284 feet (87 meters). This is followed by the 280-foot (85-meter) \u00a0Mj\u00f8st\u00e5rnet by Voll Arkitekter<\/a>, in Brumunddal, Norway, and HoHo Wien by RLP R\u00fcdiger Lainer + Partner<\/a>, a Vienna mid-rise boasting 18 floors at 275 feet (84 meters).<\/p>\n
