Project update “The Cradle”, Düsseldorf:
In December 2020, the hybrid timber construction of the “The Cradle” office building won a special award as the best BIM project in the Heinze Architektur Award 2020. The special feature of the project is the establishment of a link between the BIM model and the digital material passport. So already now, the foundation is laid for the creation of a digital material database for the building.
The new build is being developed following the Cradle-to-Cradle© principle and will for the most part be constructed with recyclable, non-toxic building elements and minimize the CO2 emissions compared with conventional construction methods.
The building construction work started on schedule in December 2020. Completion is expected for the second half of 2022.
