As part of our ‘kwa im Dialog’ series, we were delighted to welcome two experts from Drees & Sommer: Jürgen Einck, Head of Facade Engineering and Associate Partner, and Florian Stockert, Senior Team Leader for Structural Engineering. They took us through the practical aspects of timber and timber-hybrid façades, timber-aluminium element façades and timber-frame construction, demonstrating how material selection, construction methods and the entire life cycle of timber are integrated into holistic planning approaches.
The modularisation and digitalisation of planning and construction processes were also a key focus, with a view to the circular, modular and digitally planned buildings of the future.
The round-table discussion was attended by colleagues from all our offices, whether in person or joining digitally, and thrived on the shared, interdisciplinary exchange.
Many thanks to Jürgen Einck and Florian Stockert for the inspiring insights!
‘kwa im Dialog’ is a series of discussions through which we maintain cross-project and cross-thematic discourse across our various offices in Aachen, Berlin, Düsseldorf, Cologne and Munich. It serves as a stimulating and productive exchange of knowledge and experience – both within and outside the office, between different projects as well as across various planning phases – and is both a means of knowledge transfer and self-reflection.
