CLT & Massive Timber Building Seminars
These free presentations explore how CLT, LVL and Glulam may be used to build massive timber buildings such as Melbourne's Forté Living, the world's tallest timber residential building (10 storeys). The presentations cover essential CLT design issues, the cost advantages of CLT solutions, large-span LVL and Glulam floor systems, fire and acoustics, and much more.

Projects using EXPAN
For over 14 years the Australian Timber Design Awards has been spreading the word about the very latest in timber design. We've written of how architects are using recent innovations in engineered wood products to design high and wide in timber (e.g. Forté Living in Melbourne, or London's Stadhaus). And we've been promising for some years that a new generation of engineered wood products will shortly hit our shores.

Well, those technologies have now arrived. The Structural Timber Innovation Company and several of our leading universities have just completed a five-year research program into new timber systems for multi-storey and long-span buildings. The result is EXPAN, a range of world-class, entirely new timber technologies for large-span commercial, industrial and residential buildings. These include post-stressed beam and frame systems, large-span floors, roof systems and new timber connectors.

To discover for yourself the potential of EXPAN, sign up for the EXPAN Timber Technology for Commercial Buildings Workshop. This all-day workshop will provide comprehensive guides to each new timber technology and a detailed worked example. The dates are:
Brisbane -- 5 June 2013
Sydney -- 6 June 2013
Melbourne -- 7 June 2013

Thursday 19 September has just been chosen as the date of the 2013 Australian Timber Design Awards presentation night. The event will take place at a Melbourne venue yet to be determined; all winners and finalists in this year's Australian Timber Design Awards will be announced on the night.

This is the premier event in the Australian timber design calendar, so be sure to keep the evening free. It comprises a banquet meal and Awards presentations—and is a great opportunity for architects and designers to network and to gain peer recognition.

Building designers, building owners and the researchers who developed EXPAN timber technology will present the case studies.

Dates: 22-24 April 2013
Cost: $200 AUD. Travel and accommodation at own expense. (Accommodation suggestions provided.)
CPD Points: May be available. Contact us for details.

New award announced
Tilling has signed up as a Silver Partner of the Australian Timber Design Awards to sponsor the new Western Red Cedar Award. Judging from past entries, this should be a popular award, particularly among those entering projects that feature exposed timber (western red cedar enjoys high natural resistance to decay).

To enter for this or any other of the awards, read through the entry categories and then sign up for the 2013 Awards!

The Australian Timber Design Awards is pleased to announce that The Window and Door Industry Council (WADIC) is sponsoring a new award: The Excellence in the Use of Timber Products - Windows and Doors Award. In previous years the Awards have featured stunning examples of timber use in windows and doors, so we expect that this new category will receive plenty of attention from entrants. In fact, early interest in this new category has already been significant -- and we've never before seen so many early entrants.
