Corporate Timber – Pushing the Limits of Hardwood
Titelbild zu Corporate Timber – Pushing the Limits of Hardwood

Project Description

The new SWG Schraubenwerk Gaisbach production hall blazes new trails in timber construction. Its architecture sets new standards in hardwood use and probes the limits of this forward-looking renewable building material in a novel way. Every detail is a testament to innovation in craftsmanship and engineering. This book features comprehensive documentation of the project from various perspectives, including in-depth specialist and technical insights. Texts, written in German and English, accompany the image sequences and self-explanatory plans specially conditioned for the printed matter.

The "script" for the content structure follows the application of a screw: apply – screw in – connect. The visual equivalent is triple perforation starting on the cover and continuing through the body of the book to different depths. A 3D intervention that in addition to the strong visual effect, also serves to guide the user. The approach to the construction project is presented in three steps.
