Completed in March 2019, it was officially verified as the world’s tallest timber building by the CTBUH (Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat). The main load-bearing structure consists of large-scale glulam trusses along the façades as well as internal columns and beams.

Abstract

In his lecture, Rune Abrahamsen said, “It’s really inspiring to see the mas­sive interest for this building worldwide. There is a great demand for sustainable solutions for the future, and Mjøstårnet is now the world’s tallest showcase for just that.”
