HoHo Vienna is the world's tallest wooden tower, standing at 24 floors and 84m in height and is a great example of how we can combine concrete and timber to achieve the best solution for mid to high-rise buildings. Richard Woschitz, of the Woschitz Group is the structural engineer for the project. Today we speak to him about the structural system and the feasibility for high-rise timber buildings, importance of including fire authorities for innovative projects and managing moisture during the construction process.
