A joint exchange in an informal atmosphere on topics from the world of timber construction – the next L'ignite Holzbau-Stammtisch Stuttgart will take place on 16.06.2026!
This time we are visiting str.ucture. Alex Michalski, Benedikt Neubauer und Andreas Schönbrunner report on current timber construction projects by the Stuttgart-based structural engineering firm. Text über die Vorträge.
Renan Prandini from the Institute of Building Structures and Structural Design (ITKE) will give a talk on computational methods for timber engineering using Beaver and introduces the UniversalTimberSlab, a structural system that applies principles of anisotropy and optimal orientation to point-supported timber and timber-composite slabs. By enabling irregular support grids, the system expands the range of design possibilities for multi-story timber construction.
In addition to the presentations, we are offering an excursion to Reutlingen prior to the timber construction roundtable. There, we will tour the new building of the Reutlingen Local History Museum on Oberamteistraße, for which str.ucture was responsible for the structural engineering. Alex Michalski, Managing Director and Partner at str.ucture, will give us a guided tour, offering an exclusive look inside the new building, which has not yet been officially opened.
The new museum building features an open space with a timber frame structure, enclosed by a translucent glass brick façade and suspended above a medieval vaulted cellar.
As always, there will be plenty of time after the presentations for discussion and networking over drinks and grilled food.
