HELSINKI, July 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Metsä Woods næste Plan B-initiativ, der skal undersøge træets muligheder, når problemerne ved urbanisering skal løses.

Storbyer over hele verden har hårdt brug for nye måder at skabe boliger på til det hastigt voksende antal indbyggere.  Den internationale trædesign-konkurrence The City Above the City indbyder arkitekter og studerende fra hele verden til komme med bæredygtige og humane løsninger på de udfordringer, der er relateret til urbaniseringen. 

For at se vores Multimedia News Release, venligst besøg:

http://www.multivu.com/players/uk/7875651-metsa-wood-the-city-above-the-city/

Den tiltagende urbanisering er et af de største problemer, menneskeheden står over for i dag.  I 2050 bor 2/3 af verdens samlede befolkning i storbyer.  Det betyder, at storbyerne vokser hurtigere, end det er muligt at bygge bæredygtige boliger til rimelige priser.

"For vi har et alternativ.  En tilbygning, der er lavet med et skelet af træbjælker, kan være en hurtig, bæredygtig og prisbillig løsning. Det er på tide, at vi begynder at bygge op i stedet for at rive ned", " siger Michael Green fra Michael Green Architects i Vancouver.

Forskning viser, at ca. 1/4 af de eksisterende bygninger er stærke nok til at kunne bære flere etager, der er lavet af træ.  Desuden er træ det eneste materiale, der er let nok til at kunne bygges på eksisterende strukturer.  Det gør træ til et yderst lovende byggemateriale, når der skal skaffes boliger til milliarder af mennesker - samtidig med at vi bevarer vore storbyers arkitektoniske arv.  

Ønskes: en løsning med mere trivsel og bæredygtighed    

Konkurrencen The City Above the City er en fortsættelse af Metsä Woods projekt, Plan B, der startede i 2015 som et ambitiøst projekt, der skulle udforske mulighederne for at anvende træ til byggeri i storbyer.  Dette års design-konkurrence efterspørger dristige og ambitiøse planer, der sætter byggeprocesser med træ ind i en eksisterende storbykontekst - på en måde, der er tilgodeser både mennesker og naturen.

Deltagerne opfordres til at vælge en centralt beliggende bygning i en af verdens mest befolkede storbyer og udvikle en innovativ løsning med træ, der giver mulighed for flere boliger ved at tilføje flere etager.  Konstruktion af yderligere etager med Kerto® LVL (lamineret finertømmer) som primært materiale er et centralt krav til design-arbejdet. De foretrukne byer er London, Berlin, Paris, København, Stockholm, Istanbul, Washington og Shanghai.

Selve design-arbejdet skal enten integreres med en eksisterende struktur eller falde naturligt ind i storbyens brogede udtryk.  Deltagerne skal foreslå byggesystemer, der udnytter ydelseskarakteristika fra en række forskellige træteknologier.  

Vinderen kåres af en internationalt anerkendt jury 

Deltagernes arbejde bedømmes af et international jury med omfattende ekspertise i arkitektur med træstrukturer og bæredygtigt design.

Michael Green grundlagde sit arkitektfirma MGA og nonprofit skole DBR/ Design Build Research for at fokusere på progressiv arkitektur, forskning, uddannelse og innovation. Fra kontorer i Vancouver og Portland arbejder han og et team af 25 designere på internationale projekter, der er forskellige i deres omfang, bygningstype og beliggenhed. Michael er dedikeret til at hjælpe med at bygge sundere samfund gennem innovativ arkitektur, interiør, landskab og byplanlægning. Michael er især kendt for sin forskning, lederskab og for at være fortaler for at fremme brugen af træ i det byggede miljø med omfattende internationale drøftelser om emnet, herunder 3 TED arrangementer som kulminerede i hans TED tale i 2013, som er blevet set over en million gange.

Mike Kane fra Storbritannien er adjunkt i arkitektur og direktør i KMK Architects.  Mike Kane fokuserer på, hvordan storbyer kan forberede sig på klimaændringer, ressourceknaphed og stigende tilflytning.  Han har jævnligt bidraget til modulet Energi- og ressourceeffektivitet og er meget optaget af ressourceeffektiv arkitektur med lav miljøbelastning.  

Stefan Winter er professor inden for trækonstruktion og strukturelt design ved Münchens Tekniske Universitet.  Hans forskning er koncentreret om energieffektive, fleretages træstrukturer, modernisering af bygninger med præfabrikerede elementer og klæbemidler til bærende træstrukturer.  

Metsä Wood anmoder deltagerne om at indlevere deres bidrag til design-konkurrencen City Above the City senest 30. september kl. 17:00 CET.  Førstepræmien er på 10.000 euro, de to andenpræmier er på 5.000 euro hver, og de fem tredjepræmier er på 2.000 euro hver.  De 10 bedste bidrag offentliggøres. 

Metsä Wood leverer konkurrencedygtige og miljøvenlige træprodukter til byggeriet, industrien og distributionspartnere. Vi fremstiller produkter af nordisk træ, et bæredygtigt råmateriale af førsteklasses kvalitet. I 2015 havde vi en omsætning på EUR 0,9 milliarder, og vi har mere end 2.000 medarbejdere. Metsä Wood er en del af Metsä Group.
