N2 - Mobi-Space – a modular, re-usable timber construction system. The construction system Mobi-Space was originally developed as Mobi-Sku:l to offer school communities an attractive replacement building with high energetic and spatial quality during renovation periods of their school facilities. The essential requirements are a short erection time, ability of non-destructive demolition, an energetic standard above regulations and an adequat noise- and fire protection. The system exists out of 54 m2 big modules, created from highly prefabricated timber frame elements. Taking into account a number cycles of erection and demolition design special attention was allocated to horizontal load distribution and spatial stiffening. Special plug connections and tensioning elements are used, combined with solvable screw connections. Temporary foundations complete the system. Based on the modular conception the configuration of the modules can be adapted to the local requirements. Electrical- and media supply are also solved with plug-in connections. The concept is not only realised as school replacement buildings, but as Mobi-Office also as office solutions, e. g. at TU Darmstadt. In between 25 projects were realized, three of them were demolished and erected again. The Mobi-Space concept proofs, how modular and industrial construction is feasible even with high architectural quality.
