Throughout Europe, “ships of discovery” await including the Vasa, a humongous Viking-era warship that capsized and sank in 1628, while sailing from the harbor in Stockholm, Sweden. Spending 333 years on the sea bed, this wooden warship was protected by mud and cold Baltic water (which avoided worms and bacteria from feeding on the wood). Today, this salvaged, beautifully restored Viking ship is considered the world’s best preserved 17th-century vessel. It's displayed in all its glory in Stockholm’s Vasamuseet, Sweden’s and Scandinavia’s most visited museum. “Start your morning with a visit to the Vasamuseet (Vasa Museum), one of Sweden’s most popular attractions,"
Neutelings Riedijk Architects, a Netherlands-based architectural firm, aims to not only realise architectural projects that are truly sustainable but also express sustainability in their designs. Having successfully completed the 484,375 sq ft Gare Maritime in Brussels, a mixed development constructed using cross-laminated timber (CLT), the firm will continue to experiment and further explore the possibilities of constructing with wood, says director Michiel Riedijk. Gare Maritime is one of the largest CLT projects in Europe. By using engineered timber, the amount of cement used was reduced enormously, he says. “The choice for wood had a favourable effect on the construction process. Thanks to the prefabrication and the dry constructing method, the construction time was considerably shorter than when using traditional construction methods. Circularity was also a main design starting point and this has resulted in the design of demountable connections and modular wooden building elements,” he adds.
