Office Building in Kristiansand (NO) by Oslotre As

The commercial and office building in Kristiansand on the southern tip of Norway displays a striking character, most of all due to its exceptional timber facade. The load bearing structure of the building combines glued laminated timber posts and beams with concrete and cross laminated timber composite ceilings. This allows creating large spans and meeting requirements for fire safety and soundproofing.

: Architected Structures (en.) >> https://www.detail.de/de_en/architected-structures

Computational multifunctional architectural structures reflect a design approach that combines geometry, performance, material and aesthetics. The term ‘architectural’ in this context means that the structures are designed on a microscopic or macroscopic scale to achieve specific properties such as lightness,
strength, flexibility, energy absorption or even energy generation. The book deals with efficient polyhedral geometries and funicular, fabric-like structures. They extend the limits of existing systems in architecture and structural design, achieving sustainability and functionality. It presents design strategies that bridge the gap between science and applied technology and show the potential that has yet to be realised in architecture and construction.

The Traces of Time

Existing buildings carry traces of time – patina, cracks, memories. Adapting them saves resources and energy, but more than that, it requires sensitivity to materials, spaces, and history. Architecture becomes a dialogue between past, present, and future.
