About this Event
Organized by University of Miami Littoral Urbanism Lab and AIA Tampa Bay
This panel is a continuation of the talks hosted by the L.U. Lab exploring the use of mass timber and cross-laminated timber within the Southeast, specifically the Gulf Coast and Florida. The climate of the Southeasters U.S., defined as hot and humid, shapes how design teams think through design and construction of solid wood assemblies. The discussion will address the specific implications of designing and building with mass timber in the Southeast.
The panel will expand the conversation to include the upstream contributors responsible for the flow of wood from our forests through the processing and manufacturers on to building sites and into structures, i.e. the forest and foresters, manufacturing and logistics, structural behaviors and characteristics of prefabrication and building assembly in mass timber construction.
