Cross-laminated timber (CLT) construction is increasingly being used for residential, commercial and public sector buildings. Offering a significant strength to weight ratio, improved installation speeds, reduced on-site waste and a high standard of airtightness, CLT also has the advantage of being a renewable resource.Highly illustrated with photographs and technical drawings, this book demonstrates the versatility of CLT construction as an engineered timber solution, sometimes also used in conjunction with glued laminated timber beams. It provides clear and helpful recommendations to assist architects, engineers and their clients who are increasingly looking for sustainable, efficient structural solutions. There are four key sections: 1. An introduction to CLT, showcasing its uses for architects, building designers and their clients / 2. Design principles, including studies of several exemplar buildings / 3. CLT product performance, inlcluding; structural design, connections, fire, thermal, and acoustic performance, sustainability and appearance / 4. 13 case studies representing a variety of building types.Many TRADA member companies at the forefront of CLT building design in the UK have helped with the development of this landmark book including: Waugh Thistleton, Arup, Ramboll, Eurban, B&K Structures, KLH UK Ltd, Stora Enso, Hugh Strange Architects, Paddy Hislop and Exova BM TRADA.

Das neue Bauen mit Holz hat vielfältige Gründe und Vorteile gegenüber konventionellen Bauweisen: Holz ist ein nachwachsender Baustoff und hilft als CO2-Senke beim Klimaschutz, zugleich ist er dank moderner Berechnungs- und Fertigungsverfahren für zahlreiche Bauaufgaben einsetzbar. Holz weist hervorragende konstruktive wie raumklimatische Eigenschaften auf und lässt sich problemlos mit sämtlichen anderen, gängigen Baumaterialien kombinieren. Dieses Fachbuch gibt anhand von 24 internationalen Projekten einen Überblick über die derzeit realisierte Vielfalt an Möglichkeiten im modernen Holzbau. Die Beiträge dokumentieren in Texten, Bildern und Plänen sowohl die architektonischen als auch die konstruktiven Qualitäten zeitgemäßer Holzbauten, von der Entwurfsplanung über das Tragwerk bis ins Detail. Die vielfältigen Einsatzbereiche beruhen dabei auf einer in Jahrhunderten aufgebauten, holzbaulichen Expertise sowie auf aktuellen Forschungen im modernen Ingenieurholzbau. Diese Spezialdisziplin hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten besonders in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz signifikant weiterentwickelt und ist heute weltweit führend. Timber: 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.

Die Lehrmethode DesignBuild steht für die synergetische Verknüpfung von entworfener Theorie und gebauter Praxis. Sie beschreibt die Ausarbeitung einer Idee über die Ausführungsplanung bis hin zur realen Umsetzung im Maßstab 1:1. Im Rahmen der praxisnahen Architekturausbildung an der Bauhaus-Universität Weimar entstand 2022/23 für die südthüringische Gemeinde Rippershausen eine 42 Meter lange hölzerne Kolonnade als neuer Dorfmittelpunkt mit einem breiten Nutzungsspektrum. Das gebaute Resultat zeigt eindrucksvoll die kooperative Zusammenarbeit zwischen Studierenden, ihren Lehrenden und Akteur*innen des ländlichen Raums. Dieses Handbuch reflektiert DesignBuild als Methode und illustriert den Prozess vom ersten Entwurf über die Vorfabrikation bis zur tatsächlichen Errichtung. The DesignBuild teaching method represents a synergetic fusion of design theory and practical construction. It encompasses the evolution of an idea from development through to implementation at a 1:1 scale. As part of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar's practice-focused architecture teaching, a 42-metre wooden colonnade offering a spectrum of uses was created as a new village focal point for the community of Rippershausen in South Thuringia. The built result is an impressive demonstration of the cooperation between students, lecturers, and various actors from within the municipality. This handbook describes the DesignBuild method and illustrates the process from the very first design through to prefabrication and the final realization of the project.
