Place, Time, and Purpose
Tuesday, April 19, 2016
The Committee on the Environment is excited to announce Jason Smith, Partner at Kieran Timberlake, an award-winning architecture firm and an internationally recognized leader in practice-based architectural research and innovative buildings. Jason Smith's talk addresses the themes of urbanism, renewal, and longevity that cut across the firm's work through examples of restoring a transit hub, retrofitting a former bottling plant to a sustainable studio, and balancing the essential qualities of building on a 100 year old campus with the rapid pace of change in frontier physics research.

INTRODUCTION TO WOOD & CLT -
Hosted by Woodworks - Wood Products Council
This presentation will provide an introductory review of allowable uses and best design practices associated with wood-frame construction. Topics include: wood science (including wood's cell structure and moisture interaction properties), wood species and grades, structural wood design for vertical (gravity) loads (including bending, shear, deflection, vibration, tension and compression), connections, common wood-frame lateral force-resisting systems, and components of wood shear walls. Architectural considerations associated with wood framing will also be examined, including fire protection and sprinklers, construction types, acoustics, and building envelopes. The presentation will also introduce cross laminated timber (CLT), an engineered wood building system designed to complement light- and heavy-timber framing options. CLT will be reviewed using a series of project examples that demonstrate its use and associated benefits in a range of applications. Information on manufacturing, specification and code-related considerations will also be discussed.
