Abstract
In 2015 a new maintenance depot for utility vehicles was built in Andelfingen (Canton Zurich). The building is 16.50 m wide and 30 m long with a height of 8 m and was supposed to be constructed in wood. Referring to the simpilicity of an assembly set, planar components have been developed for the roof and the walls integrating both the load bearing structure and the building envelope and allowing for a simple and fast assembly. This was possible because of modern industrial fabrication techniques which allow to transfer the traditional log construction to a large scale industrial building type. The process of stacking and plugging 2 m high laminated timber components with the length of the entire building, the slotting of the roof beams into the wall and the multilayer board on top rendered possible a timber building with only a few additional iron fasteners put together in only 4 d. Only through close cooperation of architects, engineers and contractors a strong relation of the building material, the construction principle, the building structure and its architectural expression is achieved.
