Selecting a construction type is one of the most critical early decisions in any mass timber project.
WoodWorks will hold a Selecting a Mass Timber Construction Type: Balancing Design Vision and Structural Reality webinar on April 15th from 1 to 2 pm ET
This course presented by Michael Scanarello from WSP USA Building Structures and Christopher Angelakis from Architectural Resources Cambridge, will explore approaching construction type selection as an iterative process to arrive at the most appropriate choice.
Looking at realized project examples, the session will examine the collaborative process between the architect and structural engineer—highlighting the familiar “push-pull” dynamic between disciplines—and how they can successfully balance design vision, code constraints, and structural efficiency to achieve the owner’s end goal for the occupants.
Attendees will also receive practical guidance on how early coordination, iterative modeling, and code interpretation influence material efficiency, occupant comfort and safety, and long-term building performance.
