Mit dem Illwerke Zentrum Montafon ist hinsichtlich Größe und industrieller Fertigung ein Quantensprung im Holzbau gelungen. Das knapp 10.000 qm große Verwaltungszentrum setzt Maßstäbe in Vorfabrikation – und ist dabei ebenso präzise gebaut und wohnlich wie die kleinen Preziosen, für die das Vorarlberg berühmt ist. Die Publikation beschreibt die Entstehung dieses Gebäudes: Vom Einfluss des Wassers und der Topografie, von der Entwicklung der Kubatur bestimmt durch die statische Struktur des Bausystems und die einheitlichen Bedingungen für alle Arbeitsplätze, bis hin zum Wandel der Bürokultur durch die Architektur und schließlich der Einbeziehung von Kunst am Bau.

Massive-engineered wood elements like CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) and LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber), are allowing us to build higher and larger than ever before. After over one hundred years with concrete and steel, wood is back in town.
