Davies Maguire + Whitby
we had at the table 2 to 3 engineers. This session was more or less an introduction of our projects.
But even so, Marta and I presented the materials we would like to use - caliche and salt cedar and
we were given a starter feedback:
- there is a formula for a wall made of bricks which determines the height depending on the width and other factors (wind load, material,..). So for certain width(the depth really) the wall can only be a certain height, after this, pillars are introduced to strengthen the wall.
- engineered wood is small pieces glued together, but a steel plate would have to be introduced for large span beams.
- consider fire regulations for timber structures.
Thank you Ian!
