With its sustainability credentials and fast build times as well as developments in material and construction technologies, timber is enjoying a renaissance. Beautiful, resilient projects of wide ranging scale are emerging across all typologies.
Begin the day with speakers who will present expert knowledge of timber properties and performance in different environments and at varying scales to help designers understand how to work with its qualities and characteristics to create strong and sustainable buildings.
After Timber Talks, attend a Timber Workshop on Digital Design and Fabrication of Timber Plate structures. This 2-hour course and 1-hour lecture will introduce participants to computational design strategies for cutting-edge timber building technologies, including digital fabrication of integral timber joints and closed loop digital design workflows for timber plate structures.
