Hermann Kaufmann Architekten: Architektur und Baudetail / Architecture and Construction Details

Potenziale und Lösungen des Holzbaus

Ecological, durable and climate-friendly: The buildings by Hermann Kaufmann and HK Architekten set standards in a wide variety of aspects. This monograph documents ten future-orientated timber buildings by HK Architekten, which show how softwood and hardwood are used as construction materials in a wide variety of building types and indicate the benefits that result therefrom. Images, blueprints and detailed drawings of the projects, such as the production hall of the SWG screw factory, the valley station of the Nebelhornbahn (cable car) in the Alps or the large administration building of illwerke vkw in Montafon document the completed buildings. The project descriptions also contain structural information and provide targeted insights into the planning and construction process.
