University Expert in Mass Timber Design: Collective Housing
Presentation
The University Expert in Mass timber Design: Collective Housing programme focuses on the research and practice of mass timber design of collective housing typologies, where timber is presently experiencing a resurgence. Students are introduced to highly industrialized and off-site manufactured structural timber systems, dry and fast assembly processes, acoustic and fire performance, durability, and contemporary typologies (including tall building design) in mass timber. Through this module, students will receive a comprehensive knowledge of discourses, cases, techniques, tools (building information systems), and projects pertaining to collective housing.This program is the second module of the Master in Mass Timber Design. It offers a unique online experience based on advanced design research methodologies, a philosophy of learning by doing, and a community of experts in mass timber design that serve as faculty and lecturers.
The online environment of this program provides students with the ability to interact with an expansive, international body of faculty members and colleagues in diverse professional contexts that can serve as launching pads for their own careers. In addition, it connects a broad array of companies, specialized design firms, industries and institutions that can provide job opportunities for recent graduates of the program in this moment of exponential growth for mass timber building design around the globe.
Students can choose to follow the program in a Synchronous or an Asynchronous format, according to their time-zone or personal schedule.
