Rund um den einzigen nachwachsenden Baustoff ist im Vorarlberg eine aktive und innovative Szene entstanden: Handwerker, Planer und Industriebetriebe erweitern gemeinsam dessen Möglichkeiten und Einsatzgebiete. Hermann Kaufmann als einer der wichtigsten Protagonisten, lotet mit seinem Büro seit Jahrzehnten die Grenzen des Materials aus. Das Illwerke Zentrum Montafon setzt Maßstäbe in Vorfabrikation und ist dabei ebenso präzise gebaut und wohnlich wie die kleinen Preziosen, für die das Vorarlberg berühmt ist. Die Publikation widmet sich der Entstehung des knapp 10.000 qm großen Verwaltungszentrums, mit welchem hinsichtlich Größe und industrieller Fertigung im Holzbau ein Quantensprung gelungen ist: Vom Einfluss des Wassers und der Topografie, von der Entwicklung der Kubatur bestimmt durch die statische Struktur des Bausystems und die einheitlichen Bedingungen für alle Arbeitsplätze, bis hin zum Wandel der Bürokultur durch die Architektur und schließlich der Einbeziehung von Kunst am Bau. The federal state of Vorarlberg holds a distinguished position in wooden construction with an active and innovative scene, where tradespeople, planers and industrial enterprises build upon their possibilities and develop their field together. Hermann Kaufmann, as one of the key protagonists has been working with his team to push the material to its limits for decades. In regards to its size and industrial manufacturing, the Illwerke Zentrum Montafon has successfully made a quantum leap in wooden construction. The publication describes the emergence of the approximately 10,000m2 administration centre: from the influence of the water and the topography, from the development of the cubature defined by the static structure of the building system and the uniform conditions for all working spaces, to the change of the office culture due to the architecture, and finally, the integration of art in the construction.
