Intertenancy walls are critical building elements that separate adjacent occupancies such as apartments, hotel rooms, and office units. These walls must meet strict performance requirements for fire resistance, acoustic insulation,...

One for the engineers and connections detailers: Walls meet floors, post bases anchor to concrete, structures align, with just one connector. Between timber, steel and concrete, every connection is fitted...

Large-span industrial buildings are typically dominated by structural steel. Project Big Span explores whether hybrid timber–steel structural systems could provide a practical, lower-carbon and cost-competitive alternative. Funded through the Mid-Rise...

This breakthrough connector represents a major advancement in hybrid and timber structures, prefabrication, and design for disassembly. It offers a suite of innovative, standardized solutions that bridge the differing tolerances...

WoodWorks October Conference — Call for Presentations. Is anyone in New Zealand or Australia doing work on improving the structural properties of CLT for widening its applications? Looks like the...

One for the engineers (and perhaps architects, given better looking joints)....

Australian architects, engineers, and developers visited Japan to explore wooden architecture, particularly focusing on the Ajinomoto National Stadium, which features a unique timber-and-concrete composite roof. This trip aimed to understand...
