Woodworks| Offsite Wood Construction: Reinventing the Role of the Design Professional

Online

How are the roles of architects and engineers changing as more construction moves offsite?

Presented by experts in offsite and modular wood construction from architectural academic and consulting firm MOD X, the webinar will discuss the role of design teams in the future of modular wood construction. Discussions will focus on: 

  • Market drivers, along with an overview of light-frame and mass timber modular systems (including light-frame and mass timber panelized and volumetric modular solutions)
  • The changing role of the architect in the offsite and modular construction supply chain, design for manufacture and assembly workflow, and business models (vertical and horizontal integration)
  • Four case studies illustrating how contemporary design professionals in the U.S. are leading the practice of offsite construction and leveraging its value in unique ways
