Nussknacker und Mausekönig // June 2012 // Photshop, InDesign
book design – from concept to produced book.
Hermann Kaufman - LCT One office building, Dornbirn 2011. The structure, which is a pioneering system of prefabricated glue-lam wooden members laced with ribbed concrete, allowed the architect to build an eight story wooden tower (the highest legally allowed by the city) while maintaining proper fire separation between floors. The middle image further illustrates how ridiculous this system is; there are no screws or mechanical fasteners between materials; precast concrete pins are used to secure the wood members, whose grain is cut at the most dense point and oriented to combat the sheer forces created by the vertical columns (section). An amazingly delicate balance of fire protection, structural stability, and material strength.
