Urban Timber Constructions

The proportion of timber construction in Berlin is still in the low single-digit range and the records for high-rise timber buildings are set in other countries. But urban timber construction is on the rise, and not just in the capital. The construction sector is currently facing major challenges and the tried-and-tested building material wood offers good conditions for new, more sustainable solutions. It is renewable, modular and binds CO2 without causing any. Get to know Berlin’s pioneering projects in urban timber construction on our guided tours: the E3 building group project by timber construction pioneers Kaden Klingbeil, Germany’s largest timber hybrid project at Südkreuz or the CRCLR reuse pioneering project on the Vollgut site. Find out more about the advantages and properties of wood as a building material and the development of urban timber construction in Berlin. Because wood can do more than you think.

HIGHLIGHTS
Circular Construction Straw, wood and clay in the urban environment
