Sustainable Timber: Scottish Building Industry

By adopting multidisciplinary solutions, the past can inform the future. Timber and the Built Environment aims to offer guidance, engender confidence, and positively demonstrate to practitioners the benefits of sourcing and using sustainably produced timbers.
Specifiers should have a better awareness of the context and profile of timber in terms of maintenance in order to design in success. The programme will present a variety of relevant case studies to offer a broader understanding of the material’s potential.
This Timber conference will be useful to inter-disciplinary groups including: planners, building control officers, architects, surveyors, academics, conservationists, timber industry, manufacturers and suppliers, timber treatment specialists and public sector agencies.
This Timber Architecture event supports the Scottish Executive’s policy on architecture which aims to develop an understanding of architectural and sustainability issues and the provision of appropriate skills for the building industry.
Timber and the Built Environment will address perceptions and challenges associated with timber in use. Drawing on experience from the past, it will provide guidance, inspiration and new ideas for the future use of timber through good design.
