TIME: 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Session Abstract:
In response to the housing crisis, tall timber residential projects are becoming commonplace, with an ever-increasing focus on speed to market. In this growing and rapidly-evolving sector, the approach to architecture and building code remains critical, but successful projects increasingly rely on the effectiveness of delivery models and cohesiveness of project teams. Tall timber projects can be delivered in a multitude of ways - each coming with their own set of challenges and opportunities. Decisions around what trades to engage and when, effective and competitive procurement and fabrication methods, just-in-time or staged delivery, etc. have higher stakes. Regardless of which model is followed, production bottlenecks and missing or uncertain scope gaps can significantly impact delivery schedules. This presentation will outline the critical steps in each delivery model and reinforce the role of cohesive teamwork in delivering tall timber residential projects. Delivery models will be explained and attendees will leave with actionable takeaways on how to foster effective teamwork in tall timber project delivery.
Learning Outcomes:
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
• Define the differences between the current design and delivery models for tall timber residential buildings, including advantages/disadvantages for each.
• Evaluate the major scheduling impacts and considerations for the tall timber delivery models.
• Identify procurement options, and when to engage a fabricator.
• Understand the mass timber supply chain and its impact on code and design considerations for tall wood buildings.
About the speakers:
Ilana Danzig
Ilana Danzig joined ASPECT in 2019 with more than 15 years of structural engineering experience, and a thorough understanding of all material types across project typologies. Her twin passions for mass timber and seismic design became the foundation for much of her work today, including her developing expertise in emerging areas, such as off-site prefabrication and construction engineering for mass timber buildings. Ilana's leadership has delivered boundary-pushing projects such as the developments at District 56 in Langford BC, including Tallwood 1, the first Encapsulated Mass Timber Construction (EMTC) tall wood building in Canada, and Terminus, which includes the first steel/timber hybrid buckling-restrained brace (BRB) lateral system. Her experience has also frequently extended beyond the borders of BC, and Ilana has helped to significantly grow ASPECT's portfolio of work across the United States as well.
Amir Shahrokhi
Amir has more than 15 years of diverse architectural experience leading design teams large and small. In his role at ASPECT, Amir provides oversight and direction on projects utilizing prefabricated elements and assemblies, while also supporting engineering staff on architectural technologies and practices. Prior to joining ASPECT, Amir was Director, Building Systems at Digifabshop, leading off-site construction efforts, and prior to that he was a Project Director at SHoP Architects, where he delivered more than a million square feet of projects and developed his focus on mass timber design. Amir has also taught and lectured at universities across North America, including Yale University, The University of Pennsylvania, and The New School. His previous speaking engagements include the "New Languages of Wood" Symposium for the Fay Jones School of Architecture at the University of Arkansas, and the US Market Growth Panel at the International Mass Timber Conference in Portland in 2016.
