Hybrid timber construction is an effective and sustainable method of building that offers a more environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional construction techniques. Wood is the primary material used in this construction method, which also partly replaces concrete, stone, and steel in building applications. The use of wood is an effective method of removing CO2 from the atmosphere, as trees bind the greenhouse gas. The use of wood in construction helps to prevent the release of greenhouse gases that were previously bound by the tree or wood, through natural death or combustion. However, building regulations, fire protection, and other considerations often present challenges to pure timber construction, leading to the use of alternative construction methods. The volume Hybrid Timber Building presents 50 projects from German-speaking and European countries, including family homes and large office buildings. These structures were constructed using a hybrid method combining wood and concrete or steel , with the objective of overcoming the challenges inherent to this construction approach. The 240-page volume presents a variety of regional and design approaches to hybrid construction. Furthermore essays on engineering and economic efficiency provide insight into the subject's fundamental aspects. The new series of CRADLE books is published in collaboration with CRADLE magazine. The monothematic volumes showcase exemplary projects with comprehensive text, facts, detailed and overview plans, and images. These aim to illustrate the technical diversity and creative integration of the respective approaches.
