With a height of 26 metres and a shimmering aluminium facade, the Lifecycle Tower in Dornbirn does not have the typical appearance of a wooden structure. This eight-storey timber hybrid building is the prototype of a form of construction created in interdisciplinary research work. The modular system can be employed for developments up to 20 storeys in height and consists of prefabricated facade elements and composite intermediate floors, complemented by an insitu concrete staircase core with a bracing function.
