Introduction to Hybrid Timber Construction 2026 Spring

Introduction to Hybrid Timber Construction (this is not a self-paced course)

February 2 – 13, 2026

This course enables participants to overview hybrid timber-based construction.

The primary learning and competency outcomes are the following:

• Become familiar with the physical and mechanical behaviour of different wood products commonly adopted in hybrid systems
• Understand the metamorphosis of hybrid timber construction, from seeking aesthetic augmentation and biophilic design of buildings to structural performance enhancements and optimization of the building components
• Be aware of possible timber-based hybrid structures and subcomponents
• Be able to select structural forms and wood products for large-span applications in relation to the design and construction requirements under both standard and complex loading conditions, as well as transportation, logistics and on-site operations
