Waugh Thistleton Architects

We're delighted to announce the line-up of incredible speakers taking part in our panel for the London Festival of Architecture! As part of the LFA’s Studio Lates programme, we will be hosting a discussion with leading industry experts on the themes of reimagination and re-use in architecture. We will be joined by Joe Giddings from Built by Nature, Kelly Harrison at Whitby Wood, ChangeBuilding's Adrian Campbell and Andrew Waugh. Bringing together experts from across the construction industry, this evening will engage different perspectives, conversation and debate on the future of our built environment. ⏳ 18:30 - 20:30 📍 Thursday 27th June Spaces are limited. Booking free but necessary. Follow this link to reserve: https://lnkd.in/e7hF__Jd #LFA2024 #LFAat20 #StudioLates #MassTimber #Reimagine #Reuse #ConstructionRevolution

We've won an RIBA National Award! 🏅 Our Black and White Building is London's tallest fully engineered office block and the winner of this year's RIBA Client of the Year Award. Defined by an integrity to material, the building sets a powerful new precedent for sustainable architecture. We'd like to thank everyone involved in this ambitious project!

We’re thrilled to announce that our Black and White Building has won an RIBA National Award! London’s tallest fully engineered timber structure, The Black and White Building sets a powerful new precedent for sustainable and carbon conscious design. Winner of this year’s RIBA Client of the Year Award, the east London office building is defined by its integrity to material and honesty of form, a simplicity which belies its ground-breaking ambition and innovation, utilising the powerful carbon capture and biophilic qualities of wood. 🌲 #RIBANationalAwards #RIBA2024 #RIBA #WaughThistletonArchitects #ConstructionRevolution Photo credit: Jake Curtis

Træ er en vigtig komponent i byggeriets grønne omstilling 🪵👷Derfor er en ny demonstrationsbygning af træ og andre biomaterialer på vej på Teknologisk Institut i Taastrup. Her kan byggebranchen teste nye løsninger og materialer til fremtidens byggeri. – Testbygninger som Build-in-Wood Demonstrator er meget sjældne, og flere kommercielle producenter har allerede udtrykt interesse i at anvende bygningen til at eftervise og demonstrere materialer og byggetekniske løsninger. Sideløbende med det fysiske byggeri opbygger vi en digital tvilling, der med sensorer kan følge bygningens tilstand, energiforbrug og behov for vedligehold, siger Mette Glavind fra Teknologisk Institut. 📸 I sidste uge inviterede vi til rejsegilde for bygningen, som er en toetagers trækonstruktion på cirka 340 m². Den består af limtræssøjler og -bjælker samt etagedæk i krydslamineret massivtræ og lette træfacader. Ud over kontor- og mødefaciliteter består bygningen af en laboratoriedel. Her er det muligt at udskifte stort set alle bygningsdele, så man kan foretage test af nye løsninger og materialer i fuld skala under realistiske forhold. Build-in-Wood Demonstrator åbner i 2024 og bliver en vigtig brik i både nationale og internationale forskningsprojekter og for kommercielle producenter. Bygningen er finansieret af Teknologisk Institut og EU-projektet Build-in-Wood, tegnet af Waugh Thistleton Architects og bygget af Adserballe & Knudsen A/S. Herudover bidrager 20 sponsorer med materialer og komponenter til bygningen. Bliv klogere på, hvordan bygningen sætter nye standarder for fremtidens byggeri: https://lnkd.in/dBfUn2ke

I går var der rejsegilde på det banebrydende Build-in-Wood Demonstrator-projekt, der i disse måneder opføres på Teknologisk Instituts grund i Høje Taastrup.   Mette Glavind og Niels Morsing fra Teknologisk Institut holdt begge tale til arrangementet, der fejrer håndværkernes indsats for at opnå lukket hus. Det er Adserballe & Knudsens rutinerede CLT-sjak, der står for den fulde tømrerentreprise. Demonstrator-bygningen er på 340 m² og består af limtræssøjler og -bjælker, CLT-etagedæk og lette træfacadeelementer.   Demonstratoren vil fungere som et levende laboratorium, hvor nye materialer og systemer kan blive testet under virkelige forhold. Fokus er på at løse udfordringer som brandsikkerhed, fugtstyring og lydisolering, og en digital tvilling af bygningen vil med sensorer overvåge parametre som fugtindhold og muliggøre forebyggende vedligehold. Projektet, der er støttet af EU's forsknings- og innovationsprogram Horizon 2020, samler 21 partnere fordelt på 12 lande, der igennem seks år har engageret sig i arbejdet med at maksimere trækonstruktioners potentiale på tværs af det europæiske byggeri.   Bygherre: Danish Technological Institute Arkitekt: Waugh Thistleton Architects (UK) Rådgivere: ABC - Rådgivende Ingeniører, Panum & Kappel, Ingeniørfirmaet SORI Sponsorer: Se foto

Mass timber is revolutionizing construction. In comparison to traditional concrete and steel, it offers a low-carbon alternative while bringing a natural aesthetic to buildings. Tune in and subscribe to the Shaping Sustainable Places podcast to hear experts Andrew Waugh from Waugh Thistleton Architects and Dean Lewis from Skanska USA discuss what’s so good about wood.     https://lnkd.in/gSBssikE     #ShapingSustainablePlaces #KnowledgeAndForesight #masstimber #podcast   

Co-founder and director Andrew Waugh will be speaking tonight at The Skyscraper Museum! 🏙 The talk will be hosted by Andrew Bernheimer and available to stream live from 6pm EST via the museum's YoutTube channel here: https://lnkd.in/ekzXx3kE #TallTimber #WaughOnWood #ConstructionRevolution #MassTimber

Great to see the NLA sharing our post-occupancy LCA study of the recently completed Black & White building. We use LCAs at every stage of project development to iterate the design, drive material sufficiency, and inform design decisions. In the case of Black & White, the figure of 343 kgCO2e/m2 represents a betterment over the design stage calculated figure of 410 kgCO2e/m2, illustrating how carbon can be reduced as details for the project are developed. #LCA #sustainability #workplace #office #architecture

As part of our commitment to encouraging the use of carbon conscious and biobased building materials, our research is open source and accessible. Our guidance on how to build effectively and efficiently using engineered mass timber is available to view on our website!🌲 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eDjPuci3 #ConstructionRevolution #CLT #MassTimber

Waugh Thistleton Architects recently published a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of our award-winning Black & White Building. An LCA is an analysis of the environmental impacts associated with all the stages of a building's life, from the raw materials and energy used in the production, construction, and operation of a building to its eventual end-of-life disposal. An LCA enables architects to identify and improve on particularly carbon-intensive areas, which, when used during the building process, can help inform more environmentally and carbon-conscious design choices with reliable data. We believe this LCA sets an important precedent for architects and the construction industry at large to take stock of the environmental impacts of their buildings, which we see as fundamental to the UK’s transition into a green construction industry.
