Wood for all - the environmental and atmospheric value of all-wood architecture

In Kerkrade, one of the municipalities of Parkstad Limburg, the population shrinkage is particularly manifest. In an attempt to balance the housing market, HEEMwonen, a local social housing association demolishes a part of her building stock. Among other places, this has already happened in Heilust, a residential area in Kerkrade-West. The resulting vacant land will be transformed into a public park in the coming years. I design a fragment of this park and include a restaurant to increase the park’s value for tourism. The architectural goal is to create an all-wood building with wood and wood products that are kept in the timber life, without compromising architectonic quality.Architectural Engineering and TechnologyArchitecture and The Built Environmen
