Construction
Projects such as Roots Hamburg, one of Europe’ s tallest timber-hybrid residential towers, or the World of Volvo experience centre in Gothenburg illustrate the potential of this approach. Both projects combine timber with steel and concrete elements, and both rely heavily on prefabricated modules. Even under extreme conditions, such as the Polish Polar Station in Antarctica, hybrid construction with prefabricated elements ensures a reliable and rapid building process. These examples demonstrate that hybrid methods are not limited to one project type but can be applied to urban housing, cultural landmarks and industrial facilities alike.
