Resumen de Learning from the feedback loop: case studies in timber
The structural engineering profession may be seen as a unique engineering discipline:
full-scale mock-ups, beta versions or large-rollout prototypes of our designs for real-life testing are not as common as they are in other industries. It is therefore doubly important to get our assessment as close to being right as possible, or, at least, not wrong! A feedback loop provides an opportunity to build on what has gone before, to do things diff erently or to do things better in the hope that ‘we do not always get what we have always got’. In the current climate emergency, the status quo is no longer enough.
Tisserin Engineers has been fortunate to work on various timber projects since its inception in 2019. This article describes two example projects which demonstrate how the art of asking questions and building on past knowledge – creating a feedback loop – has helped us deliver interesting timber structures for our clients.
