Abstract

Seit drei Jahrzehnten gibt es ein wachsendes Interesse am umweltfreundlichen Baustoff Lehm, der seine beispielhafte Nachhaltigkeit schon über Jahrhunderte bewiesen hatte. Gerade der Leichtlehmbau, bei dem Holzskelett- oder Fachwerkwände mit Lehm und Faserstoffen ausgefacht werden, hat besonders gute bauphysikalische Eigenschaften. Dass Lehmbau heute nichts Exotisches mehr an sich hat, ist unter anderem diesem Standardwerk zu verdanken, das den Einsatz dieses „alten“ Baustoffes umfassend und aktuell darstellt. Es enthält neben vielen praktischen Tipps Informationen über konstruktive Vereinfachungen und den Gebrauch von Lehm-Fertigbaustoffen für die zeitgemäße Bauabwicklung. Die Auswahl der Projektebeispiele zeigt die Vielfalt des Baustoffes; Selbstbauprojekte demonstrieren darüber hinaus die einzigartige Möglichkeit, den Leichtlehmbau mit eigenen Händen zu entdecken. Für die 8. Auflage wurde der Beispielteil aktualisiert, die Kapitel „Planung und Kosten“ sowie „Bauphysik“ adaptiert, die Normenangaben wurden auf den neuesten Stand gebracht. Das Buch richtet sich an Bauherren, Architekten und Ingenieure, Hersteller und Handwerker sowie an Selbstbauer. The interest in clay as a building material – which has proved its sustainable characteristics over centuries – is growing. Light clay, which is light in weight and easy to work, is presented here as a versatile and forward-looking building material for modern computer-aided timber construction and the renewal of historic timber-framed buildings with clay infill. The balanced building physics properties of the material, which can be controlled through the mixing proportions, make it suitable for resource-efficient building in various different climate zones. Thermal storage, sound insulation, protection against moisture and fire in conventional timber construction are improved, and the construction is simplified. This standard publication describes detailed production methods, includes practical tips for self-building, and demonstrates the application of ready-made materials in modern construction. The book is aimed at architects, engineers, and their clients, as well as for listed building officers, manufacturers, tradesmen and self-builders

Abstract

Typologically structured overview of 24 contemporary timber constructionsTimber: the old raw material and building material returns.There are many reasons today for building with wood and there are great advantages over conventional designs. Wood is not only a renewable building material that helps reduce the levels of CO2 and is hence good for climate change, but, due to modern computing and manufacturing processes, it can also be used for a variety of construction tasks. Wood possesses excellent qualities for both construction and indoor climate control, and can easily be combined with other common building materials.Based on 24 international projects, the book provides an overview of the range of possibilities in wood construction today. Texts, images, and plans document the architectural and constructive qualities of contemporary timber structures from the conceptual design to the structure in detail.The various uses are based on current research in modern timber engineering but also on timber construction expertise that has been developing over many centuries. This special discipline has evolved significantly in recent decades, particularly in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and is a world leader today.
