German Sustainability Prize 2021
For us, circular means thinking about ecology and cost efficiency from the end. The Woodscraper building materials can be dismantled according to type for further use. Instead of waste, valuable raw materials are available at the end of the wood scraper's lifespan. Until then, the adaptive building structure enables countless conversion scenarios.The Woodscrapers provide an answer to the pressing questions of resource scarcity and climate change. They show: With ecological materials, socially acceptable rents and a high level of living comfort can be achieved without burdening future generations.
