Sara Cultural Center - Innovation in Mass Timber
About this episode
The Sara Cultural Centre is one of the world's tallest timber buildings. The 20 storey award winning project, designed by White Arkitekter is constructed largely from timber in local forests, contributing to sustainability in terms of the building and its content. Built from a combination of cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glued laminated timber (glulam), the project in Skellefteå includes a theatre, gallery, library, museum and a hotel.
In this episode we're speaking with Florian Kosche, the Project Structural Engineer about the he keys to the successful project delivery.
