These are the latest drawings. Glulam was suggested by both Price&Myers and Waugh Thistleton Architects. I have been considering adding the toilets in the corridor between workshop and event venue, and I just came across shipping container ablution blocks (http://www.portcontainerservices.com.au/ablution_blocks.html), which I think fit the project very well. The only issue is incorporating them to the plan.
Another idea that has occured to me would be to maybe have a raised platform inside the workshop, where the structure is being created, that could then slide down to the dock, as a ship would. I thought that it would be fitting as the site has been used as docks. But I think it will remain just an idea. Looking at sizes lorries can carry, to establish the maximum size of the assembled parts that can be transported to site. This will inform the maximum size components of the construction of my building.
I have found this document mentioning the maximum size and weight of lorries permitted in the UK: http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/cms/pdf/2009-Oversize-&-Weight-limits.pdf It is 12mx2.55m for a rigid lorry.
"People in Norway have a spiritual relationship with fire," Mr Moeklebust was quoted as telling Reuters. "Fire is the reason we're here, if there was no firewood, we couldn't live in Norway, we'd freeze." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21482313
Moeklebust got the idea for the show from the wild success of a firewood book by Lars Mytting, Norway's biggest firewood celebrity. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/15/us-norway-television-fire-idUSBRE91E0SH20130215
