Embarking on an extraordinary journey through Europe, timber expert Andrew Dunn is spearheading an exclusive mass timber manufacturing and construction tour aimed at revolutionising the sustainable construction industry. The meticulously planned tour is scheduled to take place over six days, commencing in Vienna and concluding in Milan, from Sunday 26th May to Saturday 1st June 2024. Limited to a maximum of 20 participants, the tour promises an immersive and invaluable experience delving into the heart of Europe’s timber innovation.
In light of the escalating global demand for sustainable building materials, Europe has positioned itself at the forefront of a construction revolution. This tour presents a unique opportunity to explore cutting-edge timber technologies such as Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) and glued laminated timber (glulam). Participants will be afforded the chance to tour pioneering factories and projects, gaining first-hand insights into how these innovations are shaping the future of construction. The tour will also illuminate advances in tree germplasm innovation, emphasising the significance of sustainable materials in improving living conditions and economic interests.
In addition to educational excursions, participants will have the opportunity to engage with local builders, engineers, and product specialists dedicated to advancing renewable timber. Through accommodations in wood hotels and residences boasting innovative architecture and interior design, attendees will gain valuable insights into mass timber building. This tailor-made tour is especially suited for architects, engineers, developers, and construction professionals seeking to integrate sustainable practices into their projects.
The tour not only delivers an educational experience but also provides a comprehensive insight into timber’s role in modern, sustainable construction. From the historical context of mass timber building to its future prospects, participants will explore how European innovation is harnessing one of humanity’s oldest natural materials to drive a sustainable construction revolution. The journey from Vienna, Austria, to Milan, Italy, encompasses a fusion of tradition and innovation, setting the stage for a transformative experience.
The convergence of tradition and innovation in Europe’s timber industry represents a pivotal moment for sustainable construction worldwide. Andrew Dunn’s exclusive mass timber tour not only showcases technological advancements but also cultivates a community of forward-thinking professionals committed to environmental stewardship.
