Timber Design: 20 Case Studies | Andrew Charleson | June 2026

The Timber Design Society (TDS) present this webinar, 'Inspirational Timber Design: 20 Case Studies'', in the TDS series presented by Andrew Charleson. In the late 1990s Andrew Charleson visited and studied a large number of buildings in preparation for his book “Structure as Architecture”. A significant number of these buildings incorporate creative timber structural forms and members. Twenty of the most interesting are revisited during the presentation. Even though these buildings are now around 30 years of age, they will remind architects and engineers of the potential for timber structures to contribute to exemplary architecture and act as sources of design inspiration.
