We have only just started reimagining wood as a cutting-edge, versatile building material of the future. A component of environmentally friendly resource cycles, wood demonstrates its innovative potential when used in new technological developments and hybrid applications that are suited to complex, modern architectural tasks. GAM.17 takes a new look at wood—at its multi-faceted nature and architectural possibilities—and proposes building and design concepts that fully utilize the material’s potential for a more climate-friendly construction industry. This is further complemented by looking back at the history of building with wood and the ideological entanglements that have long stood in the way of the further development of wood as a building material.

The Faculty of Architecture at the TU Graz invites you to the presentation of GAM.17 Wood. Rethinking Material on Tuesday, May 18, 2021 at 6pm via Webex.
