During the FIS Nordic Ski WSC in Trondheim, we partnered with Trondelag, KUK-Gallery and 9 talented young local artists to bring different visions of a sustainable future to life. Over the course of 10 days, these young artists created 10 incredible pieces of art, each inspired by interactions with the local community and visitors to Trondheim in a space we were thrilled to provide. This collaboration wasn’t just about art - it was about sparking conversations, exchanging ideas, and showcasing how diverse perspectives can come together to inspire innovation. Seeing these artists transform ideas into powerful visual stories reminded us that 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲.

Get ready for a thrilling showcase of global innovation at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka! ✨🇯🇵 The Czech pavilion, built with a prefabricated mass timber kit of parts (Sylva™ by Stora Enso, delivered by A2 Timber), is a standout example. The breath-taking geometric design concept, rooted in the principle of raw material efficiency, ensured rapid on-site assembly. Expect to see a 260-meter-(853 ft) long educational trail, with views of Osaka Bay, and a multifunctional auditorium that will offer a rich program throughout the entire exhibition. A must-visit for anyone passionate about architecture and environmental stewardship. 🌱 World Expo 2025 is Osaka opened on April 13 and you can visit until October 2025. 👉 Read more about the Czech Pavilion: https://lnkd.in/e_wSCzyZ 📷 Photo: ©Office of the Czech Commissioner General, EXPO 2025, Apropos Architects / Stora Enso Partner: A2 Timber #masstimberconstruction #sustainableconstruction

Enter the magnificent Høyt Under Taket Climbing Centre in Norway! 🧗 The brief for this building was unique: to construct an indoor climbing centre entirely out of wood, starting from the concrete foundation. Inside, it would need to accommodate plenty of open space, both vertically and horizontally. 🌲⛰️ Architects at Snøhetta and structural engineers at Degree of Freedom were ready to tackle the mission! Thanks to a collaborative and open-minded design effort by a team passionate about both mass timber and creative solutions, Høyt Under Taket successfully met the project demands. 🤝 Another reason why the end product proved both eye-catching and fit for purpose was our Sylva™ CLT Rib Floors and Roofs. The concept of using frames to create a ‘cave feeling’ in the main hall influenced the ceiling design and, in most parts of the building, limited the spans to six metres. Prefabricated Sylva CLT Rib was a logical fit in two parts of the building where long spans and space considerations presented challenges. 👉 Take a look at the illustrations visualising the structure below and read more about this extraordinary building: https://lnkd.in/er6xY26d Photo 1: Eirik Evjen Photo 2: Snøhetta
