Detail: Henning Larsen’s World of Volvo is a study in mass timber construction
“World of Volvo” opened its doors to visitors in Spring 2024. A joint venture between Volvo Cars and Volvo Group, the new experience center is located in central Gothenburg, the Swedish city where Volvo’s journey began in 1927. The project by global architecture firm Henning Larsen is a study in mass timber construction. Spanning 22,000 square meters (236,806 square feet), the building is constructed from glued laminated timber (glulam) and cross-laminated timber (CLT) — on the interior, three majestic tree trunk-like columns are arranged in a mathematical pattern and fan outwards, their “canopies” supporting the roof’s entire mass and enveloping visitors in an enchanting forest-like setting.
