“Building the impossible” with Rothoblaas’ international design competition

Rothoblaas’ International design competition aims to encourage construction industry’s adoption of mass timber technology.

Italian multinational Rothoblaas, a developer and provider of high technology solutions for the wood sector, has announced the second iteration of their competition called “Building the impossible”

Registrations close on 30/08/2024.

The competition aims to promote the construction industry’s adoption of mass timber technology, highlighting its sustainable benefits over conventional materials like steel and reinforced concrete. With the emergence of engineered timber types such as glue-laminated timber (glulam), oriented strand board (OSB), laminated veneer lumber (LVL), and cross-laminated timber (CLT), there’s a notable shift in the industry’s perspective on the potential of timber.

According to the competitions website:

“The project that wins the first prize will be an inspiration for other future projects that we hope will aspire to sustainable solutions of community interest. Winning the competition means, first of all, coming into direct contact with the international community specializing in the timber construction sector: the projects will be evaluated by leading figures in the sector.

Participants submitting the two most interesting projects in both categories will have the right to participate in the final selection of the BUILD THE (IM)POSSIBLE jury and will receive:

  • the standard Mass Timber Seminar International 2024 package, including board and lodging.
  • a contribution towards the travel expenses of the finalists who will attend the Mass Timber Seminar International 2024 during which the winner will be decided.

In addition to the above prizes, the winners will benefit from the following promotional activities:

  • 1 banner on the homepage of the Rothoblaas website for two weeks.
  • Section of the website dedicated to the competition where the detailed description of the project will be available for one year.
