By the end of the course, you will be able to do the following:
- Examine the structural and design principles behind all-wood buildings that use mass timber products for the vertical and horizontal elements, including the courtyard design and flexible “6- Rooms” approach.
- Explore the findings of an independent evaluation on the performance of MEP systems in all- wood structures, including air quality, acoustics, and thermal efficiency based on post- occupancy evaluation data.
- Review the key design details and architectural illustrations that showcase the building’s all- wood structure.
- Analyze the matrix of design options developed by Waechter Architecture for all-wood structures to tailor design and construction approaches that meet specific project goals and environmental criteria.
