Book Synopsis
This book illustrates the wide range of design and construction possibilities offered by wood as a building material by means of 30 buildings of various sizes and uses. The spectrum ranges from small holiday homes and residential or school buildings to large office buildings, factory halls and cultural and leisure facilities. The various construction methods, such as solid timber construction, modular construction, frame, skeleton or hybrid construction, are illustrated using plans and detailed construction drawings. With their holistic approaches to solutions, the 30 project examples demonstrate the potential of wood as a sustainable building material for a climate-friendly future.
In Zeiten der Klimakrise und der Suche nach umweltschonenden Ressourcen kommt dem Material Holz für die Architektur eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Dieses Buch zeigt die Vielzahl an gestalterischen und konstruktiven Möglichkeiten des Baustoffs Holz anhand von 30 Bauwerken unterschiedlichster Größenordnungen und Nutzungen. Vom kleinen Ferienhaus über Wohn- oder Schulbauten bis hin zu großen Bürogebäuden, Fabrikhallen sowie Einrichtungen für Kultur und Freizeit reicht das Spektrum. Die verschiedenen Bauweisen, etwa Holzmassivbau, Modulbau, Rahmen-, Skelett- oder Hybridbau werden anhand von Plänen und detaillierten Konstruktionszeichnungen dargelegt. Mit ihren ganzheitlichen Lösungsansätzen zeigen die 30 Projektbeispiele das Potenzial von Holz als nachhaltigem Baustoff.
