[0264] FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of a building component 1 according to the first aspect of the invention. The building component 1 comprises exactly 16 braces 20. Every brace 20 comprises two through holes 22 arranged at opposite ends of every brace 20, respectively. The braces 20 are arranged in pairs, wherein the braces 20 of each pair are oriented parallel to each other. Exactly eight of the braces 20 comprise two slots 23, wherein further braces 20 are arranged in the slots 23 such that the braces 20 cross. As a result, two arrays 25 of braces 20 are formed, wherein the arrays 20 form a cross with crossing braces 20 crossing each other at an angle of 90. In the drawing plane shown in FIG. 1, the arrays 25 are arranged vertically above each other, wherein the two arrays 25 are connected by further pairs of braces 20 that are arranged vertically. As can be further seen in FIG. 1, the pairs of braces 20 are arranged such that the through holes 22 of the braces 20 arranged vertically are aligned with a pair of the upper and the lower array 25 of braces 20, respectively. A locking means 21, particularly a bolt, is arranged through the aligned through holes 22 in a force-locked connection, such that the braces form a three-dimensional skeleton 26. As such, the braces are arranged such that a receiving element 91 is formed by the locking means 21 arranged in the through holes 22. According to the first aspect of the invention, the receiving element 91 is configured for a force-locked connection with a further structure. Particularly, the receiving element 91 is configured for a force-locked connection with a beam 5, for example if the building component 1 is used within the building assembly 100.

[0265] Particularly, the braces 20 comprise or consist of steel. The layout of the braces 20 contributes to minimize a weight of the three-dimensional skeleton 26, while the arrangement of the braces 20 as a three-dimensional skeleton 26 shown in FIG. 1 at the same time allows contributes to a maximized conduction of forces applied to the building component 1, particularly applied to the receiving elements 91. Additionally, the simple locking mechanism of the receiving elements 91 allow for easy assembling and disassembling of the building component 1.

[0266] Particularly, the braces 20 arranged vertically may also comprise slots 23, such that all braces of the building component 1 may be identical, which advantageously reduces production costs and simplifies the assembly and disassembly of the building component 1 and/or the building assembly 100.

[0267] In FIG. 2, the embodiment of FIG. 1 is shown in an exploded view which may also correspond to a disassembled state of the building component 1. In this representation, the slots 23 of the braces 20 are clearly visible.

[0268] FIG. 3 depicts a three volume body portions 41 which may be connected, particularly glued, so as to form a volume body 40. The volume body portions 41 each comprise slots 43 which are configured to receive the braces 20, as shown in FIG. 4. Particularly, the volume body comprises or consists of wood.

[0269] As can also be seen in FIG. 3, the volume body 41 comprises hollow channels 44 which may be used to conduct a liquid, such as water, hot water or liquid waste through the volume body 40. The hollow channel 44 may also be used for electric components, such as electrical cables.

[0270] FIG. 4 shows another embodiment of building component 1 according to the first aspect of the invention, wherein the three volume body portions 41 shown in FIG. 3 are connected to each other so as to form a volume body 40. The braces 20 are arranged in the slots 43 of the volume body 40. Particularly, the braces 20 are arranged relative to each other as shown in FIG. 1, thus forming again a three-dimensional skeleton 26, wherein the three-dimensional skeleton 26 is now partially enclosing the volume body 40.

[0271] As such, the resulting building component 1 comprises a braced three-dimensional skeleton 26 with a volume body 40 forming the core of the building component 1, wherein the volume body 40 supports the braces 20 and vice versa. Particularly, the arrangement shown in FIG. 4 advantageously enhances advantageously advances a stiffness of the building component 1 compared to the bare three-dimensional skeleton 26 shown in FIG. 1 or the volume body 40 formed by the volume body portions 41 shown in FIG. 3, making this embodiment particularly useful for building assemblies 100. Notably, the stiffness of the building component 1 is enhanced while leaving the receiving elements 91 accessible as in case for the bare three-dimensional skeleton 26 shown in FIG. 1, such that further structures may be force-locked with the receiving elements 91 analogous to FIG. 1.

[0272] The interplay of the braces 20 and the volume body 40 further allows to use the hollow channels 44 comprised by the volume body 40, as the braces 20 are configured such that they do not block any of the hollow channels 44.

[0273] FIG. 5 shows an embodiment of the building component 1 according to FIG. 4, wherein cap elements 24 are arranged on six outsides of the building component 1. As such, the cap elements 24 cover the hollow channels 44 so as to seal them from the environment. This is particularly advantageous for electrical protection as well as for esthetical reasons. Particularly, some of the outsides may be left open, i.e. not covered by cap elements 24, such that further structures may be force-locked to the building component 1 at the respective open outsides of the building component 1.

[0274] FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the building assembly 100 according to the second aspect of the invention. The building assembly 100 comprises a building component 1 according to the first aspect of the invention. For example, the building component 1 may correspond to the one shown in FIG. 4. The building component 1 of the building assembly 100 forms the origin of an orthogonal coordinate system, wherein exactly six beams 5 are configured to be force-locked with the building component 1 such that the six beams 5 extend along the three spatial directions of the coordinate system. Particularly, the beams 5 comprise a cross-like cross-section corresponding to the outsides of the building component 1.

[0275] FIG. 7 shows the building assembly 100 like in FIG. 6, wherein the beams 5 are force-locked with the building component 1.

[0276] FIG. 8 shows a detail view of a terminal section 56 of a beam 5 of a building assembly 100. The beam 5 comprises a hollow channel 55, which may be used for liquids, such as water, hot water or liquid waste and/or electric components, such as electrical cables. At the terminal section 56, plug-in elements 90 may be attached to the beam. The two plug-in elements 90 shown here each comprise a base 114 and two protrusions 92 protruding from the base 114. The upper of the two plug-in elements 90 comprises through holes 52, the lower of the two plug-in elements 90 comprises notches 53. The base element 114 further comprises drill holes, such that the plug-in elements 90 may be drilled into the terminal sections 56 of the beam 5 to establish a force-locked connection between the plug-in element 90 and the beam 5.

[0277] In FIG. 9, two beams 5 are depicted. The beams 5 themselves may be identical. However, the two structures shown here differ by their plug-in elements 90 arranged on the respective terminal sections 56 of the beams 5.

[0278] The left of the two beams 5 comprises two plug-in elements 90, wherein the upper of the two plug-in elements 90 comprises two protrusions 92 with through holes 52. The lower of the two plug-in elements 90 comprises two protrusions 92 with notches 52.

[0279] The right beam 5 of the two beams 5 comprises four plug-in elements 90 with each one protrusion 92 comprising a through hole 52.

[0280] The number of plug-in elements 90 may be chosen according to the application of the beam 5 within the building assembly 100. Particularly, if the beam 5 is to be used as a columnar structure, i.e. oriented along the vertical z-direction, the number of plug-in structures 90 may be chosen larger than for beams 5 used as a lateral structure oriented along a horizontal x- or y direction due to the higher mass load in the vertical orientation. As such, the higher mass load may be conducted via a larger number of plug-in structures that each establish a force-locked connection to the building component.

[0281] Particularly, for beams 5 arranged in a horizontal direction (x- or y direction), notches 53 as visible on the left beam 5 in FIG. 9 may represent a simple alternative to through holes 52, wherein the notches 53 may be simply hooked onto a corresponding receiving element 91 of the building component 1. FIG. 9 further indicates two access-openings 70 of the beams 5, which may be used to access the hollow channels 55 extending through the beams 5, as further depicted in FIG. 11.

[0282] FIG. 10 highlights an embodiment for an arrangement of the plug-in elements 90 with respect to the building component 1. The building component 1 shown here comprises a three-dimensional skeleton 26 of interconnected braces 20 and exemplarily corresponds to the one in FIG. 1.

[0283] FIG. 10a shows an exploded view of the plug-in elements 90 next to the building component 1. Four lower and four upper plug-in elements 90 (viewed in the drawing-plane) are configured to be connected to a lower and an upper beam 5, respectively, as shown in the view of the right beam 5 of FIG. 9. As explained for FIG. 9, such a beam 5 may particularly be used in a vertical orientation within the building assembly 100 as a vertical beam 5. Between the upper and the lower plug-in elements 90, pairs of each two plug-in elements 90 are configured to be connected to a beam 5, respectively, as shown in the view of the left beam 5 of FIG. 9. As explained for FIG. 9, such a beam 5 may particularly be used as a horizontal beam 5 in a horizontal orientation within the building assembly 100.

[0284] In FIG. 10b, the plug-in elements 90 are arranged at receiving elements 91 of the building component 1 so as to form a force-locked connection. As can be understood by comparing FIG. 10a and FIG. 10b, pairs of plug-in elements 90 associated to one horizontal and one vertical beam 5 are arranged at the building component 1 via one and the same receiving element 91. For this purpose, the through holes 52,22 of the pair of plug-in elements 90 and the braces 22 or the notch 53 and the through holes 52,22 are aligned and the locking element 21 is arranged in the through holes 52,22, so as to establish a force-locked connection between the plug-in element 90 and the building component 1. As such, this embodiment realizes a compact arrangement of the plug-in elements 90 with respect to the building component 1 by arranging two plug-in elements 90 at one and the same receiving element 91.

[0285] FIG. 11 shows a cut view of a beam 5 of the building assembly 100 according to the second aspect of the invention. The beam 5 comprises two hollow channels 55 arranged parallel to each other. As clearly visible in FIG. 11, the access-openings 70 are connected to the hollow channels 55 of the beams 5 and may thus be used to access the hollow channels 55. As such, tubes and/or electrical components arranged in the hollow-channel 55 may be accessed without disassembling the building assembly 100. The access-openings 70 may comprise a cap configured to close or open the access-openings, as indicated in FIG. 9.

[0286] FIG. 12 shows another embodiment of a building assembly 100 according to the second aspect of the invention forming a voxel. The voxel shown here comprises eight building components 1 which are interconnected by beams 5 such that a cube-like structure is formed. As such, the voxel may form a unit corresponding to a room or forming a section of a room of a building, wherein the building may comprise multiple interconnected voxels. Multiple voxels may be arranged on top of each other so as to form a vertical stack of voxels but they may also be arranged horizontally next to each other.

[0287] FIG. 13 shows yet another embodiment of a building assembly 100 according to the second aspect of the invention, wherein a cut through a building component 1 and two beams 5 is shown.
