Operation Timber Sycamore

This book emphasizes the important message that architects and structural engineers must strive to ensure that the buildings they design and construct should not be major contributors to climate change. Rather, they should be exploring the use of green materials and building methods—such as timber, wood, and associated materials—in order to safeguard the environment. These sustainable materials are not only environmentally friendly, but they have the added benefit of being easy to manufacture, cost-effective, often locally available, and easily replenished. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that wood and timber are viable materials in the construction of a wide variety of building types, including medium and high-rise buildings.

As Timber, Will Stewart and Janet Simpson have further developed their own particular language which has led them to ?The Family,? a 8-track record that shuffles and persuades and recalls the momentous grace of Mazzy Star as well as the wistful melancholy of Bonnie Prince Billy. Recorded and mixed by Lynn Bridges (Devendra Banhart, Future Elevators), it?s a testament to their own internal rhythmic mechanisms, aligned and functioning in perfect parallel compliment. Building on the duo?s previous associations, these songs are open in their construction but guarded in their emotional extravagance, simple yet resonant in their revelation.

Dlubal Software has released 2.06.1103 version of RX-TIMBER is analysis package for Timber Construction with Add-on Modules Glued-Laminated Beam, Continuous Beam and Column.

This book contains the contributions from the RILEM International Symposium on Materials and Joints in Timber Structures that was held in Stuttgart, Germany from October 8 to 10, 2013. It covers recent developments in the materials and the joints used in modern timber structures.

Timber Timbre is the brainchild of Taylor Kirk, the commanding persona at the fore of its spacious, weighted sound.
With ‘Hot Dreams’, Kirk and longtime collaborator Simon Trottier daub vibrant colour across the restless evolution of Timber Timbre’s earthy, angular palette.
