The structure is a timber gridshell, a technique presented at previous WCTE Conferences (2002[1] and 2004[2]). The timber for the Savill Building was harvested from the surrounding woodland. The form of the roof was derived from a simple geometric shape; the analysis and design checks were carried out using the Eurocode. Construction details and process, which developed from the techniques established on earlier buildings, are described. 1. Introduction The first double-layer timber gridshell in the UK, for the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum ( Fig 1) in Sussex, created international interest, quite disproportionate to its size, amongst architects, engineers and carpenters Fig.

Wilson 3ème Forum International Bois Construction 2013 towards a new architecture of wood: recent developments in timber design & construction in the UK | P. Wilson 3 towards a new architecture of wood: recent developments in timber design & construction in the UK Background The use of timber in UK architecture and construction has until relatively recently, been something of a lost art/skill. True, the country has been importing timber for the past several hundred from Scandinavia and the Baltic States and still today imports around 70% of the timber used in construction from around the world. One reason for this was the almost continuous denuding of UK forests to provide materials for shipbuilding and war. The latter was the motivation for planting much of the forestry we see today – es- pecially in Scotland and Wales – a largely conifer-based resource in which Sitka spruce is the dominant species. This non-native, fast-growing tree was initially planted following WW1 to provide material for trench linings and pit props should another war arise, but by 1945 the nature of war- fare had changed and it was not needed for these purposes.
