How Does It Cost To Build A Database

Berlin Prenzlauer Berg Esmarchstrasse 3

The house

"Is this a wooden house?" May ask the astonished observer who was sent with the message found in the Esmarchstrasse No. 3, the "world's first seven-story apartment building" "The very nature of the building is" like 2007, the Berlin newspaper Tagesspiegel headlined.

differs with its elegant white stucco facade of his little dress the other houses the cozy residential street in Prenzlauer Berg. Its sleek modern look fits perfectly into the houses very diversity of the Berlin district early days. A campanile rises next to the same block-like, through generous openings structured residential house, a stair tower in concrete. Narrow bridges to bridge the gap between house and tower, a gap that leaves open the curious look in the green courtyard area, a view which is so rare here.

Only on second look and you will notice the delicate structure of the supporting framework for sharing the building into a delicately sophisticated checkerboard of light and dark areas.

A structure with weightless ease dream of the architect and in times of massive and bulky heat insulating facade hardly seems possible.

at the slender columns and thin blankets, we recognize the "Maison Dom-Ino" the 27-year old Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, better known by his stage name Le Corbusier, once again, that revolutionized in 1914, the traditional architectural concepts of eclecticism.
An icon of the reinforced concrete building "- reborn in wood. It is amazing what is possible with this building material. And it's a bold move by the architects clades and Klingbeil, this show discreet and subtle.

Das Holz

Auch wenn das Haus nicht - und schon gar nicht das Treppenhaus - "ganz aus dem Naturbaustoff" Holz besteht, spielt dieser Baustoff - weitgehend unsichtbar - doch eine "tragende" Rolle. Massive Holzstützen 30*36 cm tragen 16 cm dicke Brettstapeldecken auf die 10 cm Beton aufgebracht wurde.

Holz ein Baustoff, der nachwächst, ohne dass Rohstoffe mit hohem Einsatz von Energie verarbeitet werden müssen. Holz, ein inhomogener Baustoff, der sich durch hohe Flexibilität und Ästhetik auszeichnet. Ein Baustoff, der bei gleicher Tragfähigkeit erheblich leichter ist als andere Baustoffe und die Opportunity, much of prefabricated and transported to the site, which means short and effective construction periods.

A building material that has a low CO ² balance and a particularly positive effect of exercise on room air, a building material that provides the wintry chill as well as the summer heat protection, the good insulating properties, has in terms of thermal and sound, and the last in an environmentally friendly or recycled.

The fire

wood and fire protection is that all?

security here is an exceptional project emerged and some "fire Pope" like it as the first and last project of this type classify and think that "wood building Gebäudeklsse 5, as in Berlin is already being built, ... remain the exception." But

shows the constructed example of how great is the demand for this type of buildings in the inner cities, how many people have the right to live in environmentally friendly buildings built and work.

It is more needed than a flat denial when the fundamental laws still speak a different language. With an intelligent fire protection can - as in the Esmarchstrasse - the fundamental long-term goals of protecting the environment will be quite reconciled with the equally important conservation targets, a force that the building regulations. Take the challenge. There must be many buildings of this kind, if we want to live in future work more comfortable and natural and gentle.
