In
response to the upsurge of interest in the use of freshly-cut, unseasoned
timber for the primary structural frame of new projects, the Centre for Timber
Engineering is hosting a one day seminar entitled ‘Designing with Green
Timber – Art & Practice’ on Tuesday 24 June 2008 at Napier
University’s Craiglockhart campus in Edinburgh. A pdf brochure
containing full details of the event is attached. The programme brings together
architects, engineers and specialist contractors who, in recent years, have
designed and erected some of the most notable green timber structures and
buildings in
Scotland.
The
emphasis of the seminar is on contemporary design solutions and features the
first presentation to a professional audience of the newly-completed Loch
Lomond and the
Trossachs
National Park
headquarters building by Page\Park Architects, Buro Happold Engineers and
Carpenter Oak & Woodland Co.Ltd. The other projects under discussion in the
course of the day range from innovative domestic solutions to large section
green timber frames that make best use of locally grown timbers such as Douglas
fir and European larch.
The
day is introduced by Peter Ross, a consultant to Arup and principal author of
the recently-published ‘Green Oak in Construction’ a copy of which will be
supplied to each delegate to the seminar. This TRADA book is already recognised
as a primary reference source for anyone considering designing and constructing
in green timber and is normally priced at £65-00. This, together with a
programme containing 10 speakers whose collective experience embraces all
facets of green timber design and construction makes this one of the best value
CPD events ever to be presented in
Scotland.
The
cost to attend is £100-00 + vat per person, but businesses choosing to send
more than one delegate can obtain a special discount of 20%, reducing the price
to £80-00 +vat per person. The cost includes lunch and refreshments
throughout the day as well a copy of ‘Green Oak in Construction’. We believe
the event is outstandingly good value and a unique opportunity to receive
objective, thought-provoking information on this highly topical subject. Busy
professionals have many diary pressures but, in this instance, can you really
afford not to be there?
