Paths Into The Future. The United Nations have proclaimed 2011 as the International Year of Forests. A selection of 50 international examples will demonstrate the new digital manufacturing methods and the architectural variety of modern timber constructions from low-energy houses and wide-span supporting structures to high-rise construction.
The United Nations have proclaimed 2011 as the »International Year of Forests«. On this occasion the Architekturmuseum in cooperation with the Department for Timber Construction at the TU München is presenting in an extensive exhibition entitled »Building with Timber - Paths into the Future« the technical, economic and structural possibilities of the material. As a renewable raw material, wood is an "all-rounder", bridging the gap between nature and technology: it is the materialised form of solar energy, a carbon dioxide accumulator as well as a universal construction material.
In the scientific publication accompanying the show, the ecological significance, technological possibilities and new aesthetics of the familiar material are assessed by nine renowned specialist authors in the field. A selection of 50 international examples will demonstrate the new digital manufacturing methods and the architectural variety of modern timber constructions from low-energy houses and wide-span supporting structures to high-rise construction.
