On 15.04.2024, the educational campaign AUFHOLZBAUEN in cooperation with the Ministry of Food, Rural Areas and Consumer Protection Baden-Württemberg is organizing a lecture in which, among others, Thomas Steimle will present the Markolfhalle on Lake Constance as an initiative project in timber construction.

Following the fire at the old Markolfhalle in Markelfingen on Lake Constance, a new sports and multi-purpose hall was built using a timber frame construction. It not only serves schools and sports clubs, but is also intended to be a social and cultural center for the townspeople. With its cantilevered roof and uniform wooden slat façade, the building is the architectural highlight on the south-eastern edge of the town. The clear structure of the building is continued inside through the visible supporting structure. At the center of the building are the large event stage and the playing field, which can be flexibly divided by a partition curtain. The use of local spruce from regional forests underlines the concept of sustainability.

Under the title "welcome in the middle ! - Arnulf-Klettplatz, Königstraße, Schlossgarten", a city walk through Stuttgart's city center organized by the BDA Baden-Württemberg will take place on June 27, 2023 on the occasion of the IBA'27 Festival #1. Afterwards, a panel discussion with Wolfgang Riehle, Irene Armbruster and Thomas Steimle on the role of city centers, mixes of uses and public qualities will take place in the former Schlossgarten Hotel, the interim concept is known as "Studio Amore". All interested parties are invited to the panel discussion starting at 7 pm.

Thomas Steimle will be speaking at the 101st edition of the Zak World of Façades conference in Germany on 20.10.2022.At the Titanic Chaussee in Berlin, the focus on this day will be exclusively on the topic of façade design and engineering. The series of events is a special forum that discusses the current innovations and challenges of the construction industry in the field of building envelopes and presents the latest technological solutions.
