First Tuesday Lunch & Learn

Considerations for the Design of Wood Ceilings and Wall Systems

Course Description

This program will help facilitate the use of wood in interior ceiling and wall design applications. Wood, a material as complex in its origin as its use, requires significant processing and evaluation before it can be used to liven an interior space. Starting with the base material—the tree itself—and ending with a discussion of the various applications, Designing with Wood will review the primary steps involved in designing and specifying wood ceiling and wall systems.
