Two mass timber building next to each other have the same height, width, similar length, and are built with the same material, but they are different. The journey of design from International House to Damaru House maps the growth in knowledge of designing and building Australian mass timber offices.
This presentation investigates the design of both buildings, focussing what has changed between them, and the reasons behind each change.
The webinar is presented by two key individuals behind both of the buildings, the projects' architect - Jonathan Evans from Tzannes - and Lendlease's Design project manager - Jeremey Thompson.
