Providing a forum for members for the collection, collation and dissemination of knowledge about the appropriate use of timber in all its forms.
-
Promotion of new ideas for the use of timber in all areas of design.
-
Designing environmentally sound uses of timber.
-
Fostering research into uses of timber.
-
Encouraging interaction between groups interested in timber production, design and use.
-
Encouraging excellence in design.
-
The provision of design aids.
The purpose of this site is to put tools and information in the hands of designers of timber buildings. You can find that information on our resources page.
You should consider joining the Timber Design Society if you are involved with the structural use of timber.
