BSW Timber has donated homegrown, Grown in Britain-certified products from its construction timber range to an innovative architectural student exercise in London.
Brokered by Grown in Britain, C16 construction timber and larch cladding was supplied by BSW to the London Metropolitan University to be used as a part of their Mudchute Making Workshop.
Second-year undergraduate architecture students from the Sir John School of Architecture, at London Metropolitan University, utilised Grown in Britain timber products, to create beautiful freestanding structures at Mudchute Park in East London.
The workshop formed part of The Cass students’ ‘applied learning of structures, construction and sustainable timber syllabus’ and required the students to construct temporary 1:1 scale timber structures.
Over the course of the four-day workshop the first group of students utilised the construction timber to undertake construction of a jetty-like structure with a membrane roof, built onto a hillside within the inner-city park. The second group of students used the GiB-certified homegrown larch cladding boards to create an interlocking lamella roof structure.
Grown in Britain is an independent, not-for-profit organisation and certification body that works at every stage of the forest product supply chain to support the use of UK timber.
