Course 2 - Advanced Architectural Design in Timber
Introduction
This course deals with advanced topics related to timber construction, focusing on production processes, quality assurance, prefabrication techniques, and construction systems. Participants will explore timber technology, construction methods, connections, and structural systems. The course also covers timber BIM modelling, CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) production and design, facade finishing types, wooden facades and plaster systems, flat roof solutions, interior finishing, balcony design, openings for windows and doors, and building installations with a focus on prefabricated wet rooms.Learning objectives:
By the end of the course, the students will be able to:
- Acquire comprehensive understanding of advanced timber construction techniques.
- Gain the knowledge necessary for developing details for timber buildings.
- Gain insights into timber technology, construction practices, connections, and structural systems
1. Production, interfaces, quality assurance, craft, prefabrication, details
In timber structure production, a combination of traditional
craftsmanship and modern prefabrication techniques is employed. The
production process involves precise detailing of timber elements and
their interfaces to ensure proper fit and assembly. Quality assurance
measures, such as material testing and inspections, are implemented
throughout production to maintain high construction standards, resulting
in durable, efficient, and aesthetically appealing timber structures
that meet safety requirements and environmental sustainability goals.
