Specialist Conservation Series – Timber Framed Buildings and their Conservation Approach

12th November 2024, 1pm – 2pm

Join us for a CPD session on Timber Framed Buildings and their Conservation Approach with Paul Chatham, as part of a series of four ‘Conservation Suite’ webinars which explore a wide range of conservation issues spanning from the theoretical to the technical.

In this module Paul will deliver a module on Timber Framed Buildings and their Conservation Approach.
Through two case studies we will look at how timber framed buildings have been changed and adapted, and at methods for converting them. Both the case study buildings have medieval origins and have subsequently been altered and then misunderstood. We will examine the evidence of their original construction and later adaptation. We will also look at timber conservation repair techniques.

Learning outcomes:

• Understanding timber framed buildings.
• Carpenters’ marks and other marks.
• The adaption of timber framed buildings.
• Conservation repair techniques.
• Timber building conservation courses.

These CPD modules have been curated to provide learning opportunities for all architects, whether they are newcomers or experienced, in the field of heritage.
