why wood, why now?
80% of the world's population of eight billion will live in urban situations by 2050 in the next decade 75 million multiple family housing units will be required in China alone to accommodate the approximately 300 million people expected to migrate to major urban & adjacent suburban areas international concerns over rapidly accelerating climate change & the scale & nature of extraction processes demands a paradigm shift in the way we conceive buildings & cities

the future?
SLIDE 137
so much research, so much testing still to do
- academia should be leading on innovation – who else will do it?
- too much research operates in a vacuum –
research without dissemination is arcane
- we need to bring different disciplines together in joint
research -
- fire engineering, energy, acoustics/sound, harmonised
design procedures, strength classes, moisture, etc
- we need to rethink r&d alliances to make most effective
use of available funds
- we know what the research challenges are –
let’s stop redesigning the wheel and get on with answering the big questions
