Exposed timber post and beam structures leverage the benefits of biophilic design and wellbeing. From a design point of view there are a number of challenges that need to overcome. Nanyong Technological University Academic South Building is Asia’s last post, beam and CLT project. The 40,000 sq m project will cost $180 million and be completed in 2021. In part 2 of this 2 part series we’re speaking with Gary Caulfield, the project director and David Kingham, the project engineer about:
- Logistics of the project and dealing with COVID-19, using an international supply chain
- The cost curves of mass timber as a material selection going forward
- Managing moisture during construction
