About this course
Timber is now accepted as a key component in low-carbon solutions for multistorey building projects.
The Tasmanian Timber Design Workshop (TTDW) is a two-day intensive professional workshop that allows architects, engineers, builders, and others interested in efficient timber-rich construction to develop their skills and professional networks in a unique, hands-on event.
The TTDW’s program balances presentations from leading timber design specialists and related experts with practical workshop sessions.
The presentation will cover sustainability, design options for timber-rich building and the latest in timber assembly and jointing processes.
Conducted in Architecture and Design’s purpose-built facility, the workshop sessions include structured experiments and a fabricate, make and break event using the latest timber products and connection systems. Access to the latest computer aided design and fabrication technology will be available.
How you will learn
This workshop includes a combination of self-paced online learning, presentations with key industry speakers, and learning-by-making workshop sessions at our Architecture and Design facilities in Inveresk, Launceston.
There are no formal assignments required for this course and all participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance. Your access to the learning material will also remain open for 6 months after registration.
Who should do this course?
This course is designed for anyone who would like to learn about timber construction and develop new skills in developing low-carbon building solutions. This course is particularly useful for architects, engineers, builders, and timber industry members seeking to increase their building and design skills with renewable materials.
What you will learn
-
The potential for using timber in architectural and structural design.
-
Factors influencing the design of timber-rich buildings. This includes environmental, architectural, structural and installation factors; and
-
Efficient timber detailing and specification.
