A variety of topics related to timber construction and interior finishing are discussed on a kind of digital campus. Individuals active in the fields of construction, furniture and architecture come together here to learn all about creating personalised living spaces. We will be more or less regularly teaming up with in-house and outside specialists to hold webinars which are designed to inspire you and encourage sharing and discussion. The first online events are taking place in early May. The series kicked off on May 4, 2021 with a webinar called “The Future of Construction Is Wood”. First the host, Simone Derricks, welcomed everyone, then Christian Poloczek, SWISS KRONO’s OSB export manager, provided an introduction to the first webinar’s topic, namely the challenges of urban construction and the increasing need for living space. SWISS KRONO application technician Harald Sauter then explained the opportunities and advantages of modular construction with SWISS KRONO materials such as MAGNUMBOARD® OSB and LONGBOARD OSB. In an interview, Thomas Wehrle, CTO of ERNE AG Holzbau and head of that firm’s digital timber construction division, talked about the future, challenges and opportunities of timber construction. He explained his vision for digital timber construction and made everyone curious to learn more about what the future will bring, with artificial intelligence, 3D printing and iBIM. The feedback from the participants was thoroughly positive, including comments like “a great format! Very lively!”, “super!” and “thanks and congratulations – the launch is a resounding success” that rewarded and encouraged everyone involved.
