Master in Mass Timber Design
The project of collective housing during the master course explores how we can simultaneously live together and independently in the future.
The whole shape of the building is reminding of the symbolic brutalism but in this case the structure was designed of mass timber elements such as glulam columns, beams and rib panels made of CLT and glulam beams. The overhang is around 5m so that is the reason of an impressive size of the elements used. The builsing standing by its own, as a sculpure.
My proposal benefits from the common spaces and services which helps to reduce the need for a private sphere. It is possible to maintain a high standard of living and still contribute to a decreased m2 per/inhabitant.
