Apart from discussing CLT Merits and its consideration in MEC Projects, the workshop will also discuss Innovative Architectural examples of buildings designed with CLT in the world. The following case studies of work done in Japan will be elaborated on –
-
- CLT Park Harumi
- Park Wood Takamori
- Shimojishima Airport Terminal
- Odori Nishi 1-chome Project
- Shinjuku Senri Model House
The Second part of the workshop will discuss the possibilities of exploring CLT as the primary construction material for low rise houses. The house has been a site for much architectural innovation through history. India has long standing traditions of timber house construction from the hot and moist climates of Kerala to the colder climes of Assam and Himachal Pradesh. The stand-alone house remains deeply aspiraonal in evolving economies like India where concrete and steel remain the primary construction material. The houses for the ascendant classes are increasingly built in fragile ecosystems and seek respite in nature. Our ecological challenges necessitate new strategies towards carbon neutrality for this popular typology. This workshop seeks to explore possibilities of using CLT as a primary construction material for private house building in India.
