What was needed was the housing of a sawing station in the Wood biology and wood products faculty at the Georg August University in Göttingen. Our concept uses the existing steel structure of the crane track as a scaffold and builds on it with a progressive wooden structure.
Holzhalle Universität Göttingen
Der Entwurf zeigt Holz als modernen Baustoff, der wegen seiner hervorragenden Ökobilanz ein großes Potenzial für den Einsatz in Neubau- und Transformationsprojekten bietet.

Description
What was needed was the housing of a sawing station in the Wood biology and wood products faculty at the Georg August University in Göttingen. Our concept uses the existing steel structure of the crane track as a scaffold and builds on it with a progressive wooden structure.
The new roof structure combines the principle of folding with the specific material properties of BauBuche. The slender material is given the necessary load-bearing capacity by the diagonal cuts and the folded assembly. The facades are designed as ventilated light and weather protection and show the longevity of the cleanly constructed details.
