Vision London to have timber building focus

8 May 2015


Vision London 2015 opens its doors for two days on June 2 at London’s Olympia, providing the opportunity to check out exhibitors showcasing the latest products and technology for the architecture and construction industry.

The event brings communities together to discuss, debate and showcase the latest innovations and developments in architecture, design and the built environment.

Over 100 organisations are exhibiting their new and inventive solutions that facilitate the creation of better building design.

The event also boasts an extensive speaker programme where some 100 influential industry figures speak on a range of topics covered under the four themes of Future Materials & Systems, Technology, Innovation in Architecture & Design and Building for Health & Wellness.

Among the raft of seminar sessions, the ‘Future Materials and Systems’ seminar stream, sponsored by Stora Enso, sets out to deliver a wealth of information on the latest innovative materials, including cross-laminated timber (CLT).

‘Innovative Architecture & Design’ also homes in on timber, with ‘Geometrically Challenged Timber Structures’ presented by renowned timber engineer Gordon Cowley.

The talk features concepts, designs and engineering challenges that have resulted in some of Europe’s most stunning timber buildings. For more details visit www.visionlondon.com/registration
