Short Course 01 - Design and Construct with Dowel Laminated Timber

The Mass Timber Academy is delighted to announce the first of its 2021/22 programme of design and construction short courses focused on modern solid timber products and building systems. 

This short course is open to architects, architectural technologists, structural engineers and current students of these disciplines.

​

Environmental considerations have led many architects and structural engineers towards non-glued timber systems but knowledge of Dowel Laminated Timber (DLT) is not widespread amongst UK architects and structural engineers.

This online Short Course aims to address this deficiency by providing participants with in-depth understanding of Dowel Laminated Timber (DLT), exploring this technology from its historical beginnings to the modern method of construction (MMC) it represents today. From detailed information and examination of national and international case study buildings, together with interviews with DLT specialists, participants will obtain a comprehensive knowledge of the several commercially-manufactured variants that are currently available and their individual characteristics.

​

The detailed content of the five-week long short course series directly delivers 10 hours of objective, structured Continuing Professional Education (CPE).

​

Unique to this Continuing Professional Education (CPE) programme, short course participants will have the opportunity to engage in a mentored Design Sprint in which the information absorbed from the weekly sessions can be applied and tested. On successful conclusion of the Short Course and Design Sprint, participants will receive the Mass Timber Academy's Certificate of Achievement of competency in this subject.

Design Sprint mentoring means that places on the Short Course are limited, so early booking is advisable - sign up now!
