This September A&DS Material Considerations: A Library of Sustainable Building Materials, are teaming up with Forestry Commission Scotland and Wood for Good and Edinburgh Napier University present this CPD series looking at timber in construction.
Solid Timber Laminate Systems – Seminar
This afternoon seminar will take place on 21st September from 1.45 – 5.45pm in :
Gallery 2, The Lighthouse, 11 Mitchell lane, Glasgow, G1 3NU
The past 25 years have witnessed extraordinary advances in timber technology, with a range of solid wood systems emerging that have challenged existing approaches to structural design and building construction. . Solid wood systems, in particular, have led to new thinking in building design and to previously unconsidered applications in architecture and engineering.
This afternoon seminar, chaired by Peter Wilson of Timber Design Initiatives and introtroduced by Robert Hairstans of Edinburgh Napier University, will consider the following Solid Timber Laminate Systems : Cross Laminated Timber; Dowel Laminated Timber; Laminated Veneer Lumber; and Nail Laminated Timber.
Speakers Confirmed to talk about their experience of working with Solid Timber Laminate Systems in Scotland are:
Cross Laminated Timber: Andrew Burridge, SHS Burridge Architects
Dowel Laminated Timber: Sam Foster, Sam Foster Architects
Nail Laminated Timber: Matt Stevenson, Carbon Dynamic
