Structure & architectural expression
The architectural expression of structurecan be the key to a successful design

For simple structural types, therelationship between span and depth of

With larger spans, architecture and
structure must integrate efficiently.

Timber in exposed structures
These include:
Design versatility;
Ease of construction; Honesty of expression;
High strength to weightratio;
Economy; and Enhanced acoustic &
thermal performance.
Timber has advantages
in exposed structures.
Spans over 100 m are possible
