A strong connection to the site and the conscious integration into the landscape were at the heart of the concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A key feature of the project is the use of a timber-hybrid construction for the halls. The supporting roof structures are made from wide-span glulam elements combined with concrete. The spans reach up to 80 meters \u2013 completely without interior supports. This solution was already developed in the competition design and responded to the abundance of timber following Hurricane \u201cLothar\u201d in 1999.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIntegrating buildings or building structures into the landscape has always been a central concern in our design concepts.\u201d<br>\u2013 Prof. Eckhard Gerber<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the full interview here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.moderne-regional.de\/interview-neu-gefundene-sprachweisen-von-architektur\/\">moderneREGIONAL<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Screenshot from \u00a9 moderneREGIONAL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof. Eckhard Gerber on the New Karlsruhe Trade Fair Center in an Interview with moderneREGIONAL<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-allgemein-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.1 -
