Duration: 01:06:15
Prof Gregory Nolan is the Director of Sustainable Architecture at the University of Tasmania.
This talk is in two parts. In the first part, his focus is on timber rich construction, establishing a descriptive framework for construction types and methods using timber.
The second part is a project case study, a pre-fabricated multi-residential student housing project on campus in Launceston, Tasmania. This completed project serves to illustrate the benefits of both timber rich construction, as well as the opportunities of pre-fabrication. Both combined in this project leads to an outstanding success!
TARGET LEARNING OUTCOMES
This CPD course relates to the following AACA NCSA Elements: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, & 8
At the completion of this course you will:
  • Understand the definitions used to describe timber construction
  • Appreciate the benefits of timber-rich building
  • Appreciate the various process options for timber construction
  • Develop an insight into the different approaches to pre-fabrication, especially timber rich building. 
  • Understand the NRAS Inveresk project requirements and design strategies
  • Appreciate the specific conditions that lead to a prefabricated timber construction decision
  • Understand the construction options and the pre-fabrication approaches used in the project
  • Gain insight into the level of innovation that the project generated both in design and construction
  • Appreciate the benefits of prototyping the pre-fabricated modules to improve quality and efficiency
