Fabian von Köppen - Roots, Germany's tallest wooden tower

The architect, visionary, project developer and managing director
of Garbe Immobilien pushes building under sustainable aspects in
his thinking. Wood as a building material plays a very special
role in this. In his opinion, both politics and colleagues are
clearly lagging behind an ecological construction method. In the
podcast he explains, among other things, why we "... don't see
the forest for the trees", how he faces the current price and
material shortage or which advantages and disadvantages building
with wood entails. In addition, Fabian dispels some wood clichés
and even enters into a bet with me. Last but not least, he
explains why BIM and virtual tools are the future and how his
experiences with the different applications went. Finally, there
is the legendary exchange of blows and a small glimpse into a new
project that will have a groundbreaking influence on the future
way of building.
