The focus is on the Museum Historische Oberamteistraße in Reutlingen, and in particular on its parametrically designed, walk-through wooden structural framework. The discussion centers on the extraordinary level of planning detail required for such a project, the digital and integrated approach, and the question of how principles of lightweight construction can be applied to modern timber construction.

Two of our projects have been nominated for the 2027 DAM Prize!
We are very pleased that “Flexible Living in Schönaich” and the “Museum Historische Oberamteistraße” have been nominated for the 2027 DAM Prize.
The German Architecture Museum (DAM), in collaboration with JUNG as its partner, annually honors outstanding buildings in Germany with the DAM Prize.

Inaugural lecture by our co-founder, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Michael Herrmann, at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar

Michael Herrmann has held the Chair of Structural Design and Structural Engineering since the 2025/26 winter semester. This bridge professorship connects the faculties of “Architecture and Urban Planning” and “Civil and Environmental Engineering,” thereby strengthening interdisciplinary exchange between architecture and civil engineering.
In his inaugural lecture, “Innovative Structural Systems in the Context of Sustainability and Digitalization,” he provides insights into current research questions at the intersection of structural engineering, sustainability, and digitalization.

The L’ignite Timber Construction Roundtable took place at our office. The event began with a tour of the Museum Historische Oberamteistraße in Reutlingen, where Kaspar Ehrhardt and Timo Claus guided the group through the project. Afterward, the event continued at our office with a presentation that delved deeper into parametric design concepts for existing buildings.

In addition, Renan Prandini (ITKE) gave a fascinating presentation on calculation methods for timber construction using Beaver and introduced the Universal Timber Slab Project.

Afterward, on the rooftop terrace, over cool drinks and grilled food, there was plenty of opportunity to exchange ideas, discuss the evening’s insights, and wrap up the day together.

We are very excited to host the next L’ignite Timber Construction Roundtable here in Stuttgart. We will share insights into how “continuous construction” is evolving into a systemic and integrative practice that bridges the gap between craftsmanship and civil engineering, thereby offering a scalable approach for future construction projects.

We’ll start with a field trip to the Museum Historische Oberamteistraße in Reutlingen. Afterward, the roundtable will take place here in Stuttgart: Look forward to an exciting evening event featuring presentations, discussions, and networking. We’ll wrap up the evening with a barbecue together on our rooftop terrace.

We are delighted to receive the Federal Award for Environment & Building for the project “Multi-Purpose Hall Ingerkingen.” The award is presented by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment and the German Environment Agency (UBA). It was awarded by Federal Environment Minister Carsten Schneider in Berlin.

In addition, the project “Historic Oberamteistraße” was honored last night with the Baden-Württemberg Timber Construction Award in Friedrichshafen. The Baden-Württemberg Timber Construction Award 2026 is organized under the umbrella of the Timber Construction Initiative Baden-Württemberg and under the patronage of the Ministry of Food, Rural Affairs and Consumer Protection of Baden-Württemberg.

Both projects demonstrate the tremendous potential of working with existing buildings and advancing sustainable timber construction.
