This is the tenth webinar from the Riverside University Design Competition 2021.

Timber is by far the best low-carbon, sustainable, renewable construction material that we can build with to achieve net zero emissions. To use wood wisely, you need to know how to specify and detail timber correctly.

#RSUDC21 is a design competition from MOBIE and Sunderland City Council together with TRADA’s University Engagement Programme. They have launched an exciting Urban Living Design Competition with major sponsor the Confederation of Timber Industries (CTI) to transform a spectacular site into a unique, carbon-neutral urban quarter – an extraordinary place to live, work and play.
