Acoustic Centre - Holzforschung Austria Founded in 1953, Austria’s most important wood-related research and testing laboratory with around 100 employees. Headquarters in Vienna and research campus in Stetten. Research: Practice-oriented projects for wood-based and related products Centre tour guided by civil engineer, incl. presentation. The Acoustic Centre Austria was established as an interdisciplinary centre of excellence and application-oriented research. The newly founded Acoustic Centre has a laboratory especially equipped for acoustic experiments and aims to increase the competitiveness of timber constructions by offering acoustic investigations on existing structures and new developments, such as the examination of sound reduction indices, footfall sound insulation, studies in extended frequency ranges, and on free field facades. The centre provides solutions for multi-story and hybrid timber constructions as well as information for modelling and simulations. Source:http://www.holzforschung.at/akustikcenteraustria.html

G3 Shopping Resort Gerasdorf Design: ATP architects and engineers Timber construction: Graf Holztechnik GmbH Completion: 2012 International Design Award 2013, NÖ Holzbaupreis Distinction Guided interior visit, free program. The shopping resort Gerasdorf is characterized by the sprawling curved timber one to two-story roof construction, covering a surface of 60,000 m². Glulam beams as primary structure in combination with a cross-laminated-timber roof skin, with an average structural height of 16 cm, were used for the roof construction. The project with a total floor area of 90,000 m² was carried out in only 17 months, whereas the roof itself was assembled in 4 months.
