Freeform glued laminated timber
A driver of innovation: Campus Cherrywood
As one of the oldest renewable building materials in history, wood is currently experiencing an increased demand around the world. Timber construction can play a role in contributing to decarbonisation with large-volume, multi-storey buildings projects. The HASSLACHER Group prioritizes this product development as a leading supplier for modern timber construction considering the increasing complex requirements of clients, architects, general contractors and project developers.
Freeform glued laminated timber
Free-formed glued laminated timber elements and structures are at the forefront of engineered timber architecture. In addition to the imagination of designers and technical skills of timber construction engineers, it requires specially developed production and press technology. Another potential feature of freeform glulam beams is the possibility to realise free-formed hybrid elements, for instance a core cross-section made of spruce and an outter layer of made from white oak.
Campus Cherrywood - A three-dimensional roof for Dublin
The impressive roof made of wood and glass and measuring approximately 25 m x 19 m, covers a "Sunken Garden" on the grounds of "Campus Cherrywood", a business park for innovative start-ups and companies in the fields of biotechnology and medical technology. Benjamin Thomas from MOLA Architecture in Ireland is behind this innovate design.
