ESPOO, Finland, November 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Metsä Woods tävling har inspirerat arkitekter över hela världen att designa påbyggnadsramar i trä för stadskärnor. Bidrag inkom från 40 länder med förslag på träkonstruktioner som kan möta urbaniseringsutmaningarna. De vinnande bidragen var utformade för New York, Shanghai och Tammerfors.

Arkitekter från 40 länder tog fram en Plan B för stadsutveckling där trä (Kerto® LVL - Laminated Veneer Lumber) skulle användas som huvudsakligt material. Uppgiften bestod i att konstruera en påbyggnadsram i trä för en befintlig byggnad. Bidragen avsåg 69 städer över hela världen, bland annat Sidney, Shanghai, New York, Berlin, Paris och London. Tävlingen anordnades av Metsä Wood.

"Byggnation måste bli hållbar och städerna måste förbli anpassade till människor. Jag är glad att så många arkitekter delar denna syn, särskilt den yngre generationen", säger Michael Green från arkitektbyrån MGA och DBR Design Build Research, som är ordförande i juryn. "Bidragen var innovativa och gav mervärde både för byggnaden och samhället."

"Konstruktionerna var realistiska och tydde på en god förståelse av LVL som byggnadsmaterial", säger Stefan Winter, som är professor inom träkonstruktion på Münchens tekniska universitet. "Kerto LVL är med sin låga vikt och korta byggtider ett idealiskt material för den här utmaningen."

"Att utveckla befintliga miljöer med påbyggnadsramar i trä kan bli en viktig lösning på urbaniseringens problem. Istället för att riva ner och börja om kan vi bygga ut det som redan finns", säger Mike Kane, arkitekt och lärare vid London South Bank University. "Tävlingen skall ses som en katalysator för framtida diskussion om hållbara och progressiva städer runtom i hela världen."

Vinnare från olika delar av världen 

"Med stigande urbanisering ökar intresset för att bygga i trä. Det finns en stor potential för påbyggnadsramar i trä - enbart i Tyskland är potentialen över 100 miljoner kvadratmeter", säger Mikko Saavalainen, direktör för affärsutvecklingen på Metsä Wood.

Vinnare utsågs i två kategorier: småskaliga respektive storskaliga utvecklingsprojekt. Prissumman uppgår totalt till 35 000 euro.

Förstapristagare i klassen för småskaliga utvecklingsprojekt blev Nile Greenberg (USA) för sitt New York-bidrag och Alma Studio (Spanien) för sitt Shanghai-bidrag. De främsta utmanarna var Superspace (Turkiet) med sin design för Istanbul och Sigurd Larsen Design & Architecture (Tyskland) med en design för Berlin.

Förstapristagare i klassen för storskaliga utvecklingsprojekt blev Lisa Voigtländer (Tyskland) samt SungBok Song (Korea) för deras design för Tammerfors. De främsta utmanarna i denna klass var Basic Architects (Australien) med en design för Perth, L Arkkitehdit (Finland) med en design för Helsingfors, Giuseppe De Marinis Gallo och Gianluca Gnisci (Italien) med en design för New York samt Kim Min Jae Architects (Hongkong) med en design för Hongkong.
