Abstract
This paper addresses rebirth of timber as a material suitable for urban construction. It lost currency during the late nineteenth and throughout the twentieth century, with the main reasons being concern about fire safety and the emergence of structural steel as a material well suited to expression of architectural modernism. Now the wheel of fortune is turning again, but in timber’s favour, with driving forces being continued population growth and urbanisation, and the need to create sustainable liveable cities. Also, technical knowhow now exists to address fire performance of timber buildings and timber materials have evolved to a level where some claim they are ‘better than steel’, or reinforced concrete. Research and development of fire engineering as a rigorous science are enabling implementation of performance-based design methods that literally revolutionise the design space for timber buildings. Tall timber buildings dot many recent city landscapes, but even so the possibilities largely await exploitation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
