Michael Lee is a technical expert in Tasmanian Timber. Mick, as he's known within the sector, has over 30 years experience in research, timber production, and systems. He works with builders, designers, and architects to create solutions that benefit the environment, the economy, and the community."The stadium build for instance, in Hobart, called for 40-metre roof beams. No one in Australia could make a 40-metre roof beam. Could we make two twenties? Of course. So it's just changing the ethos and getting the right engineering involved to change the design parameters to suit our products. There's nothing that can be done anywhere else in the world that we can't do here. We have the capability of producing it on island – so it's buy local, local supply. We have the product. There's nothing stopping us. There really isn't."originalthinkers.com.au/michael-leeLinks & Show Notes:Tasmanian Timber Technical HelplineFraser & Partners’ C6 – World’s Tallest Hybrid Timber Residential Tower (Dezeen)Cusp Building SolutionsTerroir’s St Luke’s Timber Tower ProjectTimberlink AustraliaUTAS Centre for Sustainable Architecture with Wood (CSAW)TouchWoodArticle: WoodsmithWoodsmith Engineered FlooringEpisode Sponsor:Tasmanian Timber
