The bridge structure of Isarsteg as integrating artwork fits perfectly into the surrounding landscape. Taking nature as an example, the bridge spans the Isar river like a branched limb. Together, the ramps, stairs, columns, and horizontal beams represent the spatial framework. The pedestrian and cycle bridge, 525 ft long in total, was made of weather-resistant structural steel, S355 J2G2W (corten steel).
A unique installation, Conversation Plinth is a collaboration between IKD, a Boston-based architectural design firm; Bensonwood; SMARTLAM, the first CLT manufacturer in the US; and Clemson University’s Wood Utilization and Design Institute.
One of five Exhibit Columbus winners of the J. Irwin and Xenia S. Miller prize, Conversation Plinth is designed to generate conversation around the use of hardwood CLTs in US construction. While softwood CLTs have been used in the construction of mid- to high-rise buildings in North America, the hardwood variety has only previously been available in Europe.

The chapel adjoining the old convent of San Pedro in Lugo, Spain is an original construction dating back to 1690. Its ancient roof structure was based on trusses simply supported in putlog holes located in the main wall of the church. Damage appeared here. Over time, the lower vault of the structure deteriorated to the point of limiting access to the interior.
The renovation consisted of completely replacing the roof in order to make the space below fully usable again and to provide natural light to the main temple room through the stunning church windows. Previously, the windows were boarded up in order to support the roof trusses.

The structure has a width of 9.8 ft and a span width of 150.9 ft.
During the final days of World War II, a column segment of the Brandenburg Gate was severely damaged by grenade attacks. When the gate was reconstructed in 2002, the German engineering office of J. Sando in Weimar developed a method by which it was possible to substitute the column segment. The special supporting structure necessary for the substitution process was designed using RFEM.
