Commendation was awarded to the Future Timber Hub Pavilion design project which was Finalist in an international competition and exhibition held in October at Form and Force 2019, Barcelona.
The pavilion is part of a research project in the Future Timber Hub that aims to minimise waste timber through an innovative design process entitled 'inventory constrained design'.
This Film showcases the Future Timber Hub and the main challenges faced by the growing timber industry.

After watching the Future Timber Hub Film it is worth listening to this podcast again featuring Dr Cristian Maluk, Lecturer in Civil Engineering, Future Timber Hub, University of Queensland. This audio delves further into how cross-laminated timber (CLT) is becoming a construction staple and how the towers of tomorrow may soon be predominantly wood.
The Future Timber Hub film was launched at the AFAC19 Conference as part of their Innovation & Technology series on AFAC TV. The Conference was held at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre on the 27-30 August 2019.

AS more than 170 international delegates departed the three-day PTEC 2019 conference in Brisbane last week, the organising committee celebrated an event that met all the objectives. Please go to Timber & Forestry ENews Issue 568, page 10, to read the article.
Our Pacific Timber Engineering Conference (PTEC 2019) is the Cover Story in the recent edition of the Timber and Forestry Enews: "Brisbane becomes hub for best in timber engineering."
PTEC 2019 has started today. On the 10-12 July 2019, some of the biggest names in timber construction have gathered at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre for the 5th Pacific Timber Engineering Conference (PTEC 2019).
See what is happening at The University of Canterbury - one of our Hub Projects on "The behaviour of critical connections and core wall systems in tall timber buildings".

Building links between fabricators and researchers is just one of the goals behind the team planning the 5th Pacific Timber Engineering Conference.
This July, some of the biggest names in timber construction will gather in Brisbane for the 5th Pacific Timber Engineering Conference (PTEC 2019). Run by the Australian Research Council Future Timber Hub, together with the University of Queensland (UQ) School of Civil Engineering, PTEC 2019 aims to bring young and experienced academics together with practitioners, researchers and developers to share the latest developments in research and application of timber in construction.
The 5th Pacific Timber Engineering Conference (PTEC 2019) takes place in the beautiful Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, South Bank Parklands, Queensland, Australia from 10-12 July 2019. Hosted by the Future Timber Hub, ARC Industrial Transformation Research Hub for Tall Timber Buildings, and in collaboration with The University of Queensland’s School of Civil Engineering. The PTEC 2019 aims to provide a forum for both early career and experienced academics, practitioners, researchers, and research students in the Asia-Pacific region and elsewhere in the world, to share the latest developments in research and application of timber in construction.
The document is a summary of the discussion which took place at The University of Queensland on the 22nd of November, 2017. The Strategic Planning Workshop was convened in parallel with the launch of the ARC Future Timber Hub with the goal of bringing together Australia and New Zealand’s leading timber researchers to begin the process of establishing key research themes and identifying potential future collaborations.
With Brisbane set to boast the world’s tallest commercial timber building and demand for the material growing, our concrete jungles could eventually give wa

On Thursday 23rd November 2017, The University of Queensland's School of Civil Engineering hosted the Official Launch of the ARC Future Timber Hub.
The purpose of this course is to provide practicing engineers, architects and other building design professionals with the principles of timber design for buildings.
Following the Launch, guests are invited to attend the Towards Achieving Tall-Timber’s Maximum Potential panel discussion.
On behalf of The University of Queensland, please join us for the official launch of the Australian Research Council (ARC) Industrial Transformation Research Hub for Advanced Solutions to Transform Tall Timber Buildings.
This semester the School of Civil Engineering at The University of Queensland has started imparting the course CIVL4334 – Design of Timber Structures for the first time as an elective subject at UQ.
EAIT’s newest Centre of Excellence, the Centre for Future Timber Structures (CFTS), was established to drive broader use of timber as a sustainable material in the Australian built environment.
