Run by the School's Centre for Sustainable Architecture with Wood (CSAW), the summer workshops are designed to provide students, building professionals, and timber industry professionals with an opportunity to learn about the cutting edge use of timber in design and construction in a practical and hands-on setting.
CSAW offers a choice of two summer workshops, each with a varied and exciting program:
Digital Fabrication with Timber Studio: 14-16 January 2013
This three-day intensive studio offers you hands-on experience of digital design and fabrication processes with timber. You'll conceive, parametrically model, prototype, fabricate and erect geometrically complex wooden structures in full size.

Australian Timber Design Workshop: 4-15 February 2013
In the two-week Australian Timber Design Workshop (ATDW) you'll design, fabricate, construct and install a small timber building from a controlled timber-rich palette in eleven days. The building is for a local school, and its students are developing the design brief and will be the workshop's clients.

The ATDW is the equivalent of one academic unit and is available for cross institutional enrolment.
