Positive effects of wood in Vorarlberg’s (Austria) timber kindergartens

Jakub Hanták,
Danica Končeková

Abstract: The application of sustainable materials and their integration into newly constructed, valuable, and cultural architecture is a topic currently often mentioned in connection with the new initiative called the New European Bauhaus. The aim of this paper is to highlight the impact of wood material in the interiors of preschool institutions, its positive influence on the development of children and its inclusivity in education. The use of wooden furniture and wooden structural elements in kindergarten interiors o… Show more

“…A notable trend in high-rise residential construction is the increasing use of timber and concrete composite materials, with this blend becoming the preferred choice due to its flexibility and numerous advantages [95]. This combination capitalizes on timber's warmth and esthetic appeal along with concrete's strength and versatility [96,97]. In the structural systems of timber buildings, a clear hierarchy has emerged, with tall timber projects favoring shear-walled frames and shear-wall systems for their effective handling of lateral loads and provision of stability, particularly against wind and seismic forces.…”

“…Timber and concrete composites represent a harmonious marriage of two contrasting but complementary materials, each bringing its own unique characteristics to the construction process. Timber, a classic and time-tested building material, offers natural warmth and aesthetic appeal [118,119], while concrete contributes unparalleled strength, durability, and versatility. This fusion of materials harnesses the strengths of both wood and concrete, resulting in a construction approach that capitalizes on the best of both worlds.…”
