About this episode
Recently, new products have come onto the market and have enabled designers to change the way we build. Engineers have new tools in the kit, which are going to be vital as we approach net zero. Andrew Lawrence is Arup's global timber specialist, and in this episode we discuss:
- How timber is changing the way we build
- Using timber to enhance seismic performance
- Using timber alongside other hybrid materials
If you want to learn more about designing or building with timber, I recommend you go to the WoodSolutions Website and download the Technical Design Guides:
