Modern timber construction
The new form of timber construction is hybrid! Timber
construction is booming, not only because it is environmentally
friendly: building in timber is gaining increasing importance
particularly in an urban and multistorey setting. Material-optimized
hybrid construction makes it possible to leave stereotyped thinking
behind, while opening up completely new opportunities for timber
architecture.
The completely revised and extended edition of this
manual conveys essential knowledge about the system and methodology of
timber construction - from design and prefabrication to assembly on
site. It creates a mutual understanding of all parties involved in the
project required for collaboration in the integral planning and building
process. It furthermore provides the technical competence needed for a
convincing representation of modern timber construction.
