The project
At the heart of Europe, the Strasbourg Exhibition Center – designed by Kengo Kuma & Associates – embraces both international architecture and French timber craftsmanship.
Mathis designed and built the glue-laminated post-and-beam structure of over 2,000 m³ of timber.
Rhythmic and luminous, the meticulously crafted framework reflects the quiet strength of locally sourced timber expressed on a monumental scale.
A contemporary landmark, it is a symbol of the importance of French timber in the European architectural landscape.
