Description

Discover the benefits and challenges of cross-laminated timber (CLT) in building design and construction. This comprehensive guide provides an essential primer for architects, designers, builders, and clients looking to incorporate CLT into their projects.

With over 130 colour images and in-depth case studies from around the world, this book explores key considerations such as fire safety, cost, visual aspects, planning, feasibility, and engineering. It also delves into lessons learnt from real-world projects, providing valuable insights to aid development throughout the design process.

Accessible and easy-to-read, this handbook format makes it simple to dip in and out of the book, investigating specific topics as needed. Written by a multidisciplinary team of practitioners, this guide offers a balanced approach to understanding the advantages and challenges of CLT construction.
