Level 5, Barrack Place, 151 Clarence St, Sydney
CPD Seminar. Submitted for 2 formal CPD points

Architects, Project Managers, Interior Designers and anyone involved in the timber industry should attend.
Growth in mass timber buildings continues throughout the world with several countries competing for the title of world's tallest timber building. Presently, Canada is the leader with "Brock Commons" an 18 storey wooden dormitory at the University of British Columbia. Architect Anders Berensson has proposed a "Tratoppen" a 40 storey residential building in Stockholm. Japan has proposed to build the World's tallest timber construction with a 70 (350 metres) storey wooden skyscraper in Tokyo.
 
Here in Australia, Bates Smart have set the benchmark with 25 King Street Brisbane, the world's tallest commercial building made from timber. The 10 storey commercial tower has recently opened and is the embodiment of modern architecture with a commitment to CLT and to the principles of improving occupant health and wellbeing through sustainable building design.
 
This seminar to be led by Toby and Tania will look at:


  • Key lessons learned from the history of multi storey timber construction

  • Barriers to the uptake of timber buildings and overcoming the obstacles 

  • Case study of the design and construction of 25 King and project outcomes 

  • Timber construction and its relationship to occupant wellbeing and sustainability

  • Safety issues - are timber buildings fire safe?

  • Environmental impact - what is the longer term impact on resources from uptake in timber construction

  • Applying modern manufacturing principles around prefab construction, BIM software, lean manufacturing for greater efficiencies and waste minimisation

Cost to attend is $65 per person or $500 for a group of 10 ( includes drinks, canapés and CPD certificate). All prices are subject to GST.
