A Hybrid Building in Concrete and Wood

The estimated lifespan of a building today is only 50 years. They are often designed down to the minimum for a specific target group or one specific use. In many cases constructed with load-bearing walls that divide function-specified rooms, making conversion into any other form of function impossible. Locking buildings to a specific function is not very clever, as buildings are subject to a wide range of trends and changes.  The goal of this project has been to investigate how the built environment can be resilient to changing societal trends to avoid becoming obsolete and in the worst case having to be demolished. This leads to the question of how a building can be designed to enable change and how to build and plan a building when its future use and users are unknown.
