t-lab Wood Architecture 

The aim of the "t-lab Wood Architecture and Wood Materials" and the "t-lab Campus Diemerstein" is to initiate climate-friendly and resource-conserving developments and to implement them in building culture. The t-lab was founded in 2014 and is currently run by the departments "Structures and Materials", "Building Construction I and Design", "Design Methodology and Design" and "Cycle-Effective Architecture". The overarching goal is the development of climate-relevant building methods. The aim is to research and implement architectural and structural timber buildings in efficient, consistent and sufficiency-oriented construction methods and circular use of building materials in existing and new buildings. The use of building products made of beech wood, reversible load-bearing structures to increase circular value creation, hybrid associations and the preservation of existing buildings are the focus of research.
