Our research strives to develop and support innovative, timber-rich building solutions for a low-carbon future. To achieve this, we work in partnership with the building design professions, industry, and regional communities in Tasmania and nationally.
Research and development solutions
CSAW provides high quality research, development, and extension (RD&E) services to industry and professions. It links architecture, structural engineering, and other design disciplines to develop attractive, reliable and practical building solutions.
We conduct RD&E projects with businesses and other institutions that range from wood’s use as an architectural and structural medium in the design of buildings and other structures to the efficient recovery of useful building materials from Australia’s forest resources. These support the development of a low carbon economy based on biological resources in Tasmania and nationally.
