Sidewalk Labs, a subsidiary of Google's parent Alphabet, has released its new digital study for mass timber buildings that could reach 35 stories in cities. The study has been developed as part of Sidewalk Labs' Mass Timber City in Toronto, which was scaled back after a vote held in November 2019.
Called Proto-Model X (PMX), the study was detailed in blog posts, written by project head Cara Eckholm, and set as a "digital proof-of-concept" to explore how this model could also work in higher buildings in cities. Sidewalk Labs worked with Michael Green Architecture and Gensler on this project.
The company released its masterplan for a waterfront in Toronto in February 2019, however, the plans stirred controversy and raised privacy concerns "over the use of the collected data from the neighborhood and its sharing with the third parties"
