Good morning, good afternoon, or good evening wherever you are in the world today.
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:54.799
Welcome to Mass Timber Construction Podcast.
00:00:54.880 --> 00:00:58.640
It's another amazing week of updates from around the world.
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:08.719
Don't forget that Rotoblast have a mass timber seminar, an international mass timber seminar at their headquarters in Italy on the 1st and 2nd of December of this year.
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:09.680
What does it mean?
00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:15.359
Well, those working with steel and concrete may want to integrate mass timber and hybrid solutions into their project.
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:32.159
So this Mass Timber International Seminar is going to be providing those people systems that are able to help transform the way that they design, build, and think about timber as an inclusive material with all other materials as a hybrid composite.
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:42.239
So if you want to secure your spot, please head to Rothobias Mass Timber Seminar International in Italy, 1st and 2nd of December 2025.
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:49.840
Mass Timber Conference in Innsbruck is just around the corner, so it's related, so you can head to there as well.
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:57.040
And uh they are great sponsors and supporters of our podcast, Rothelbust, so please do support them in return.
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:06.159
And news out of the UK and more Thistleton Architects has created a market ready timber building system.
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:31.199
There is a great JPEG that shows how the superstructure being a glue lamb frame with CLT floor plates and uh cassette sort of wall facade system is is on the their LinkedIn feed, and you can use the download for this particular uh design guide or book to complement the way that you would work with timber.
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:40.879
Surprisingly enough, uh we spoke about previously the Danish Technology Institute and Build in Wood community, um, creating a demonstrator.
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:52.240
Um, they've also done a booklet on management of moisture, and this is a complementary workbook for a blueprint for sustainable low-carbon buildings, making mass timber accessible, reliable, and scalable.
00:02:52.400 --> 00:03:00.319
So if you're interested in getting that book, please head to Build in Wood or War Thistleton Architecture, you'll be able to see uh the document there.
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:30.159
If you're heading to New York in uh October 20 to 22nd, uh Syracuse in New York State, so upstate, not Manhattan, uh, you will be able to go to the uh Think Wood uh and also the State University of New York, uh, headed up by Paul Cravella, a good friend to the editorial board of our journal and also personal friend of mine in the mass timber construction industry.
00:03:30.319 --> 00:03:43.199
They're hosting a 2.5 day, two and a half day Think Wood workshop that is going to provide real insights and hands-on experience to look at the way that mass timber can be used in construction management.
00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:52.719
It's delivered through the construction management faculty and it's going to bring cutting edge mass timber knowledge into the classroom so it can support people with their understanding.
00:03:52.879 --> 00:04:03.199
So if you're in New York State, upstate, and you're interested in mass timber, you might want to uh register for this particular um workshop.
00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:24.079
And news out of the University of Arkansas: the Anthony Timberland Center for Design and Materials Innovation is a nearly 45,000 square foot uh building, primarily made of mass timber, includes wood and metal fabrication workshops, a 3D printing lab, external fabrication yard, and a lecture hall.
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:36.240
More than 62,000 cubic meters of Arkansas timber was used in the 43 million dollar US dollar facility, which is part of the Faye Jones School of Architectural Design.
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:42.639
Mass timber buildings are obviously prefabricated, manufactured, and assembled on site.
00:04:43.040 --> 00:04:55.759
According to the news report, the new applied research center will focus on Arkansas's timber and wood products and offer students hand-on experience with innovative design and construction materials according to the press release.
00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:57.199
The building is beautiful.
00:04:57.279 --> 00:05:00.720
There are two posts and a LinkedIn feed with different types of imagery.
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:05.839
If you want to go and have a look at this impressive building, please do, you will not be disappointed.
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:10.639
And it's great to see mass timber spreading around the world.
00:05:10.800 --> 00:05:14.399
And here's some news we don't often hear from a location.
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:23.199
It's Ireland, and D-Rez announces Ireland's first public building built in net zero carbon philosophy.
00:05:23.360 --> 00:05:42.639
Developer DRes has started work on the 3.2 million pound landmark project at Altador Gardens development, and it is an innovative development with Ireland's first net zero public building, which will be a crash and a community center.
00:05:42.879 --> 00:05:52.639
These facilities primarily constructed using responsibly sourced mass timber products and marks a significant step forward for sustainable construction in Ireland.
00:05:52.800 --> 00:05:58.639
As a result, the this will be Ireland's first privately developed mass timber public building.
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:00.560
