Show Notes
The German International School Sydney consists of preassembled offsite CLT modules. The project aimed to build sustainable, prefabricated classrooms at a cost and time frame equivalent to traditional options whilst achieving the passive house design standard. In this episode we're speaking with Knut Menden, Principal at Betti & Knut Architects about:
- Why 3D modular was the preferred construction method,
- The overall costs compared to traditional demountable school designs,
- The advantages and possibilities around repeatability,
- And so much more!
