Resource-Adaptive Digital Design

There are significant opportunities within the current timber supply chain to utilise our natural timber resource in a more efficient, and valuable, way. Researchers from the University of Queensland and ARC Future Timber Hub will present new computational design approaches for resource-adaptive timber construction, and designer-led development of resource-efficient building products and systems.
• Harry Mills - Resource-responsive design strategies for under-utilised timber
• Caitlin Reid- Lamination heuristics for utility-grade nail-laminated timber
• Dan Luo - AI defect identification for timber resource recovery

Presentations will start at 5pm and via Zoom Webinar. Please register here to receive the webinar link:

Bios
• Harry Mills is a PhD candidate at the University of Queensland (UQ). His research focuses on developing tools to support built environment uptake of alternate and non-structural timber resources.
• Caitlin Reid is a UQ Civil Engineering graduate, who developed computational tools for timber design as part of her final year thesis.
• Dan Luo is a Lecturer at UQ, with a dual appointment in Civil Engineering and Architecture. She has a strong computer science background, having completed a PhD in digital design and robotic fabrication from Tsinghua University.
