Summary:Die anhaltende Urbanisierung verlangt nach schnellen Bauweisen mit geringen Emissionen. Daher suchen Architekten, Investoren und Politiker nach Lösungen, zügig und kostengünstig, aber zugleich nachhaltigen und flexiblen Wohnraum zu schaffen. Raummodule in Holzbauweise bieten all dies: Flexibilität, Variabilität und günstige Bau- und Betriebskosten, kurze Bauzeiten durch hohe Vorfertigung, angenehmes Wohnklima, leichte Rückbaubarkeit durch lösbare Verbindungen und hohe Recyclingfähigkeit sowie eine allgemeine Akzeptanz durch die Nutzer. Dieser Praxisband bietet einen Überblick vom Planungsprozess bis zur Montage. Zeitgemäße Beispiele belegen, dass Bauen mit Raummodulen ungeahnt vielschichtige und differenzierte Architekturen ermöglicht.
Ongoing urbanisation requires rapid, low-emission construction methods. Architects, investors and politicians are on the hunt for housing solutions that are fast and cost-effective, yet sustainable and flexible. Timber room modules meet all of these requirements: flexibility, variability, low construction and operating costs, short construction times thanks to high rates of prefabrication, a pleasant living environment, easy dismantling via detachable connections, excellent recyclability as well as a general acceptance by end users. This practical volume offers an overview, from the planning process to assembly, while contemporary examples show that building with room modules facilitates heretofore unimagined, multi-layered and differentiated architectures.
