EX: Can I Have a Wood with You ?




'Can I Have a Wood with You ?' - Timber Construction Talk
Time: 9.00 pm-3.00pm
Date: 9th Oct 2011, Sunday


Through massive technology breakthroughs and advancements, architecture is introduced with a variety of new typologies of construction material. Timber, in the perspective of modern architects, is becoming an uneconomical and overrated construction material. Most architects only use such materials to achieve traditional facades or achieve the concepts of 'harmony with nature'.

The objective of this talk is to enlighten architecture students the application of timber not only as a construction material, but also as a design generator for modern architecture. The invited speaker is Prof Zakiah, a lecturer from UiTM Civil Engineering Faculty (FKA).
