Paneum, the Wunderkammer of bread, sits enthroned in the form of a loaf of bread on the House of bread in Asten near Linz (Austria). In the center of the exhibition area, exhibits hang down from the ceiling into the open Atrium like a chandelier. Visitors can walk up and down the floors on a spiral staircase and marvel at them from all perspectives. The self-supporting wooden wall of the exhibition building consists of 800 arched solid wood parts, which were cut out on a computer-controlled (CNC) system and stacked on top of each other on the construction site. On the inside, they are only provided with a thin layer of paint, so that the high-quality wood surface remains visible. Outside they were covered with sheet metal panels.

Design-to-Production from Zurich took over the 3D planning for digital production on behalf of the timber construction companies Pointinger Bau and WIEHAG. For the wooden structure, which is more than ten metres high, a parametric CAD model was created at the level of execution, which in the end contained not only the connection details for a smooth Assembly, but also installation channels for the technology. From this digital model, Design-to-Production directly derived production data in BTL Format, so that the 800 individual individual parts on the wood constructors ' CNC system could be automatically cut out of almost 150 boards of glulam.
