Joining in Wood

With the call for sustainability and digital planning and production, increasingly buildings are being made of timber elements joined in linear fashion.

As a result, the designer’s interest shifts from the rod to the joint. An entire world lies hidden there: on the occasion of the opening of the new company headquarters of Max Felchlin by Meili, Peter Architekten we take an in-depth look at the place where construction elements meet.
