Information

This course offers a unique blend of theory and hands-on practice. Every practical step is paired with clear, in-depth explanations, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of how CLT and glulam structures are designed and built.

Specifically designed for North American university professors and researchers, the program provides the tools to integrate timber construction into academic teaching. Through full-scale demonstrations and interactive sessions, participants will gain valuable insights into structural behavior, detailing, and installation techniques.

Hosted at Rothoblaas headquarters in the heart of the Italian Alps, a region with a long-standing tradition in timber construction, this immersive experience allows you to explore the full potential of modern timber systems and bring essential know-how back to your students.

CONTENTS

During the course, we will assemble a full-scale section of a timber building, from foundations to roof structure. Each practical phase is complemented by targeted theoretical sessions, providing essential knowledge on structural behavior and the principles of thermal and moisture performance in timber construction.

This integrated approach ensures a deep understanding of both design and execution challenges, preparing you to apply best practices in academic and professional contexts.

  • Installation phases through the construction of a full-scale mock-up, from foundations to roof
  • Traditional and innovative connections
  • Challenges, case studies and solutions
  • Basic principles for building envelope to ensure airtightness and waterproofing

AUDIENCE

This course is designed for professors and researchers from North America who want to approach timber construction with a practical, hands-on method.

It’s ideal for those who want to:

  • Explore the potential of timber construction and understand its role in sustainable building practices

  • Gain practical insights into structural behavior, detailing, and installation techniques through full-scale demonstrations

  • Combine theory, practice, and informal moments of exchange with experts and fellow participants
