The world-heritage listed Sydney Opera House, designed more than 60 years ago and arguably the most well-known and iconic building in Australia, has recently enjoyed a major renewal which has won a host of awards, including the 2023 Australian Timber Design Award. Source: Timberbiz
Director of ARM Architecture, Andrew Hayne, will discuss the amazing acoustic and architectural transformation, accomplished through a marriage of innovative digital design, offsite manufacturing, and creative acoustic engineering.
A key feature of the renewal was the inclusion of a series of stunning, sculptured solid carved Brushbox panels, which serve as aesthetic enhancements and acoustic heroes, breaking up and diffusing sound waves to eliminate problematic refections and
creating a rich, enveloping auditory experience.
Learn all about this absolutely fascinating design and construction journey which spanned over seven years, from project inception through to the gala reopening at the WoodSolutions webinar on 7 May at 11am, online and there is no cost. For more information here.
