Build-in-Wood featured by the NLA !
This week, Waugh Thistleton Architects celebrates the release of the Build-in-Wood Guides! The guides are the culmination of four years of work researching and testing new typologies for building in engineered mass timber. The guides offer a comprehensive how-to for the implementation of this innovative timber building system. Led by the Danish Technological Institute and sponsored by the European Horizon Fund, this four-year project brings together experts from across the wood value chain in Europe and internationally to develop and test new, mass-timber building systems for multi-storey structures. With its capacity for easy disassembly and reconfiguration, the Build-in-Wood system is designed as a kit of variable components that can be tailored to achieve the range of performance criteria typically required for residential or commercial buildings of between five and ten stories across Europe. The ambition of this project is to enable optimised and cost-effective wood construction methods to become common practice. The guides are available for free to read! https://lnkd.in/gvpFbkym #MemberMonday

This week, The Institution of Structural Engineers Journal featured our New Model Building applied research project! 📚 Written by Waugh Thistleton Architects with the support of Built by Nature, the NMB serves as a comprehensive framework of design principles and guidance for the design and construction of multi-storey mass-timber buildings that adhere to the UK’s new fire safety regulations. Developed in collaboration with expert fire engineers at UCL Dept of Civil, Environmental & Geomatic Engineering, structural engineers at Buro Happold and cost consultancy from Gardiner & Theobald LLP, the guide uses case studies and data analysis to illustrate how the substitution of traditional construction methods with engineered timber can reduce the whole life carbon footprint of a building by over 70%, whilst meeting current building regulations. New Model Building effectively streamlines and demystifies building with wood, and is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in working with timber. Jonathan Roynon and Matt Caldwell of from Buro Happold highlight the key points for structural engineers to learn and implement the New Model Building system in this month’s IStructE Journal.
