CLT Architecture
Cross-laminated timber (CLT) in architecture: how the engineered panel is designed, detailed, and built into farm stays, workplaces, and workshops.
Cross-laminated timber, or CLT, is an engineered wood panel made by gluing layers of lumber at right angles to each other, producing a solid slab that can serve as wall, floor, or roof structure. Its dimensional stability and load performance allow mid-rise and low-rise buildings to be framed largely in timber, with prefabrication shortening site time.
Work under this topic looks at how CLT shapes plans, connections, and envelopes in rural and regional projects. Recent member submissions include a sustainable farm stay in Tasmania, a timber workplace on the Hungarian plains, and a joinery workshop that treats wood at several scales.
