Max Timber Seminar - 07 October 2011
Edinburgh Napier University’s Forest Products Research Institute is charged with delivering Wood for Good’s continuing professional development programme for architects in Scotland and the first of a series of major CPD events designed specifically for small to medium-sized practices in Glasgow will take place on Friday 7 October 2011.
Structured around the use of UK grown timber, this intensive half-day session aims to provide practitioners with a wealth of information not only about the range of material and products available but also about best practice in the design and use of timber.
In addition, the event will introduce an exciting new EU supported initiative of potential benefit to every small to medium-sized practice in Scotland and will also include presentations based on two new and invaluable reference publications for architects – one on the properties and construction potential of Sitka spruce, the country’s largest softwood timber resource, and the other the result of eight years of intensive research on the design, installation and performance of external timber cladding.
Both publications are intended to encourage greater - and more creative - use of UK grown timber and these, together with a third providing guidance on the specification of locally grown timber and valued in total at £75, will all be available free to attendees of the event.
Date: Friday 7th October 2011
Time: 1.30 - 4.50pm
Venue: A+DS Workshop, The Lighthouse, 11 Mitchell Lane, Glasgow, G1 3NU
Fee: Free
