CRADLE Book: Structural Timber Construction, Gebunden

Klappentext

Timber construction is one of the most significant developments in contemporary architecture and sustainable building. As a renewable resource, wood combines ecological benefits with high technical performance and outstanding design versatility. Thanks to innovative construction methods, buildings of various scales and functions can now be realized in a resource-efficient, precise, and economical manner.

The different timber building systems-from timber frame and timber panel construction to timber skeleton structures, modular construction, and solid timber construction-offer architects and planners a wide range of possibilities. They enable short construction times, a high degree of prefabrication, and flexible, durable building structures. At the same time, they make an important contribution to reducing CO emissions and transforming the construction industry toward a more sustainable future.
