Experts explains why wooden architecture is not just barking up the wrong tree

Language

Program

This HUB discusses the current positions on urban use of wooden buildings: a lecture by the Institut für urbanen Holzbau (IfuH) showcases the trends and features of this construction method. One of Germany’s largest construction companies, Züblin, has also entered the wooden building market. Experts from the field of turnkey wooden house construction will explain the transition from concrete to wood. Representatives of HOWOGE, Berlin’s biggest housing association, will focus on the question why this natural building material has not yet found its way into residential construction. How does the housing market relate to the challenges of a sustainable construction process? Construction examples and building material samples can be experienced in the accompanying exhibition.
