David Morley is convinced of timber's benefits for longer span structures |
TRADA has bolstered its In Touch with Timber conference line-up with the recruitment of top sports architect David Morley
Sports architect David Morley is the latest recruit to speak at TRADA’s In Touch with Timber conference on May 20.
Mr Morley whose projects include a 9,700m2 athletics centre for Enfield & Haringey Athletics Club, will talk about his experience working with timber on sports and residential projects and its potential applications for the London 2012 Olympics.
“Timber has been a traditional material used for sports buildings for many years, but usually on a small scale,” said Mr Morley.
“Recent developments with three-dimensional engineering have now made timber a fantastic material for freeform longer span structures as well.”
Mr Morley, an awards and competition assessor for the Royal Institute of British Architects, will be joined at the conference by speakers including Forestry Commission chairman Lord David Clark and Morag Stuart, Olympic Delivery Authority director of procurement.
The conference takes place at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre. For the full programme visit www.trada.co.uk/itwt08 or e-mail lgovier@trada.co.uk about booking.
