Summary:
Der vielgeschossige urbane Holzbau hat sich seit einigen Jahren als zukunftsträchtige Bauweise etabliert: Von London bis Stockholm, von Vancouver bis Melbourne entstehen derzeit Holzgebäude mit bis zu 20 Geschossen. Ermöglicht haben diese rasante Entwicklung der Systembau ebenso wie adaptierte Brandschutzbestimmungen. Hinzu kommt die tadellose CO2-Bilanz des häufig regional verfügbaren Werkstoffs. Diese Publikation erläutert die verschiedenen Konstruktionsarten wie Massivholz-Rahmenbauweise, hybride Holz/Beton- oder Holz/Stahl-Konstruktionen oder Konstruktionen aus Brettschichtholz-Paneelen und dokumentiert dann die Vielfalt dieses Materials anhand 13 gebauter Beispiele. Aufbau und Detaillierung der Gebäude zeigen eigens erstellte Konstruktionszeichnungen.
Tall wood buildings have been at the foreground of innovative building practice in urban contexts for a number of years. From London to Stockholm, from Vancouver to Melbourne timber buildings of up to 20 storeys have been built, are under construction or being considered. This dynamic trend was enabled by developments in the material itself, prefabrication and more flexibility in fire regulations. The low CO2 footprint of wood - often regionally sourced - is another strong argument in its favour. This publication explains the typical construction types such as panel systems, frame and hybrid systems. An international selection of 13 case studies is documented in detail with many specially prepared construction drawings, demonstrating the range of the technology.
