Classic building material in a flexible system

This completely revised and extended edition of the 'Manual of Multistorey Timber Construction' conveys essential knowledge about the system and methodology of timber construction – from design and prefabrication to assembly on site. It creates a mutual understanding of all parties involved in the project required for collaboration in the integral planning and building process. It furthermore provides the technical competence needed for a convincing representation of modern timber construction.

The new form of timber construction is hybrid. Timber construction is booming, not only because it is environmentally friendly: building in timber is gaining increasing importance particularly in an urban and multistorey setting. Material-optimized hybrid construction makes it possible to leave stereotyped thinking behind, while opening up completely new opportunities for timber architecture.

The Manual provides architects, engineers and wood specialists with the essential expertise on the new systematics and construction methodology, from the design to prefabrication to the implementation on site. It lays the grounds for mutual understanding among everyone involved in the project, to facilitate the necessary cooperation in the integral planning and construction process.

- Construction and design methodology in multistorey timber construction
- New system of timber and timber-hybrid construction
- Elements, layer structure, tectonics
- Prefabrication and construction
- Detailed sample project section with individual documentations
