From 19 to 10 days before course start: 50% refund
Up to 9 days before course start: no refund
For the first time, the Mass Timber Seminar arrives directly in the Scandinavia region!
This first edition brings together leading architects, engineers, and researchers to discuss the most relevant developments in timber construction today. With a program built around real projects and advanced structural solutions, the seminar offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from top Scandinavian and international specialists.
Participants will gain fresh insights into emerging design approaches, hybrid systems, and sustainable applications of engineered timber—topics that are shaping the future of construction in the region.
Beyond the technical content, the event is an ideal moment to exchange ideas, strengthen professional connections, and build a network within a rapidly evolving industry.
CONTENTS
This seminar highlights the latest developments in contemporary timber engineering, with a strong focus on practical solutions and high‑performance design. The program explores the growing potential of hybrid systems—ranging from steel‑to‑timber strategies to advanced timber–timber connections—and examines how these approaches support efficient, sustainable structures. Key topics include optimization methods for hybrid systems, large‑span timber engineering, and the relationship between structural detailing and architectural form.
Through technical presentations and major case studies, participants will gain clear insights into current best practices, innovative structural solutions, and the role of timber in shaping both performance and design in cutting‑edge Scandinavian and international projects.
- Hybrid structures
- Innovative connections
- Large span solutions
- Case studies and major projects
