Uruguay is one of the few countries worldwide that its forestry relies

exclusively on renewable plantations (Pinus & Eucalyptus)- Forestry

> 70% plantations have FSC e ISO14001 (PEFC Council 2009)

Opportunities:


1. Previous studies showed that timber

from Uruguayan fast grown species

(Pinus taeda, P. elliottii, Eucalyptus

grandis) are valid for structural uses

2. Part of this wood could be processed

and used in residential, commercial and

industrial buildings, and bridges

2. Part of this wood could be processed

Barriers : 1. Lack of HHRR with background on

timber engineering

2. Unawareness regarding advantages of

timber vs. traditional construction

3. Cultural prejudices

4. Lack of standardized wooden materials

5. Lack of design rules

1. For the forest- timber sector: adding value to their production,strengthening their competitiveness

3. For universities and technological labs: addressing cientific/technicalknowledge about timber and EWP

2. For building industry: including a “novel” technology, reducing on-sitedeadlines and promoting a sustainable renewable material

5. For the end-users: living in a more “environmental friendly” building

4. For profesionals: creating high performance and cost efficientbuildings

Architecture and Civil Engineering. State of the art

• Building construction mostly relies on masonry and concrete

- Use of timber as a structural material represent less than 0.5 % of the total

residential construction industry.

- Seldom experiencies in houses

• The technology of timber construction has increased in recent years,

due to the need to reduce execution times and construction costs.

However, the adoption of this technology is often limited by the lack of

specialized HHRR (professionals, technicians, workers).

Since 2012, the School of Architecture Universidad ORT, the Faculty of

Engineering Universidad de la República, and the Forestry Project Dept. LATU,

have been working in technical documents and developing research projects

Program genesis: Background of inter-institutional cooperation

➢ Strengthening of installed capacities (in agreement w/ANII)

Standardization , Sensibilization, Education & promotion of timber products

1. Focusses of our work

➢ HHRR development

➢ Linking academia and productive sector

➢ Aligment with the objectives of the Forest-Timber Council

3. Scientific papers & technical documents



4. Interdisciplinary work (architecture and engineering students)

• Considering that Uruguay has made a significant investment in the forestry

sector supported by govermental policies based on The Forestry Law (1987)

and the creation of the Forest-Timber Council (2010), Universidad ORT &

UDELAR are willing to contribute to this development by qualifying HHRR

Posgraduate program: Design and construction of timber structures(“Diploma de Especialización en Diseño, Cálculo y Construcción de Estructuras de

Madera”)

• Few professors with background in wood science and timber engineering,

mostly working @ the School of Architecture Universidad ORT, and the School

of Engineering Universidad de la República

A joint collaboration between teachers from the two institutions is reasonable

Rationale: Launching a new program


What can architects learn about timber & engineers about architecture?
