Join us for lecture with Arup Associate Principal Michelle Roelofs and Director of Engineering at Timberlab Tanya Luthi on the feasibility of mass timber in tall buildings!
Can we build tall buildings out of wood? We can. Modern Mass Timber is a new system of building materials that also beats steel and concrete in strength by weight, with only a fraction of their "carbon costs." It's time to learn about this revolutionary material, and we have the perfect professionals to explain: Michelle Roelofs, a structural engineer at Arup who specializes in Mass Timber, and Tanya Luthi, the Director of Engineering at Timberlab, a contractor specializing in Mass Timber structures. They will lead us through a primer on the history and types of Mass Timber, especially Cross Laminated Timber, or CLT and explain its virtues and challenges.
