Mass Timber Construction Podcast Special Guests - Build the [Im]Possible Competition Winners Rothoblaas

In this special guest episode, we talk to the winners of the
Build the [Im]Possible competition. The competition was to design
structures that would not be possible without our revolutionary
SPIDER and PILLAR connectors. The response from the four corners
of the world was incredible: all kinds of projects came in and it
was not easy for us to select the best ones. The categories of
participation were Students and Professionals, and both gave us
great satisfaction. The technical jury that selected the four
finalist projects included a number of leading figures from the
world of timber construction: Roland Maderebner, Senior Scientist
at the Leopold-Franzens University of Innsbruck (A); Hermann
Kaufmann, manager and founder of HK Architekten and professor
emeritus of design and timber construction at the Technical
University of Munich (D); Thomas Moosbrugger, member of national
and international standardisation committees for timber
construction and timber products; Peter Lang, partner at
Rothoblaas, creator of the competition and expert in the field of
Mass Timber constructions; and, last but not least, Ernesto
Callegari, Product Line Manager at Rothoblaas, a structural
engineer who is part of the company's Technical Office fastener
development team. The judges are familiar with timber
construction and spend much of their time imagining and shaping
its future. Following the selection of the four finalists,
participants in the Mass Timber Seminar in November submitted
their votes and the two winning projects were crowned. Among the
students, Tyler Hull, a young researcher from the University of
Waterloo, Canada, won first prize. The prize in the
"Professionals" category went to the Austrian RWT PLUS studio,
already well-known in the industry for its design and
construction of one of the world's tallest timber buildings, the
HoHo in Vienna.  We speak with Matthias Rinnhofer. Please
enjoy this very special guest episode of the podcast and
congratulations to the winners in both categories.
