Retrofit: Detailing for a timber frame building

Timber is one of the best materials that you can structurally build with. It grows on trees, sequesters carbon and provides healthy buildings. Timber needs careful consideration when it comes to retrofitting and extending a building – our experts explain where to start (#TDChallenge23).

Itinerary

• Tabitha Binding (host)
• Gervase Mangwana, urbed | Air tightness and moisture
• Florence Collier, Hublebee | M & E and ventilation
• Beth Williams | Structural consideration

About the challenge

The 2023 university challenge will see interdisciplinary teams of individual students and 2022 graduates from UK Universities address the urgent need to reuse existing buildings by repurposing and retrofitting.

Individual students and 2022 graduates from Built Environment courses at UK Universities are invited to register their interest to join in this interdisciplinary UK wide team competition which will run for 5 months.
