Sustainability is becoming increasingly important, particularly in this day and age. In the construction sector, timber construction is at the forefront when it comes to making architecture and the construction industry more sustainable. Wood is often hailed as the key to the construction revolution, thanks to its ability to store carbon and its status as a renewable building material. However, simply ‘building with wood’ is not enough to ensure sustainability. The exhibition ‘Timber Construction Architecture with PEOPLE. PLACE. HOUSE. MIND.’ uses selected projects to highlight the social, architectural, spatial and structural qualities that make a timber building fit for the future. Following its inaugural presentation at the kunsthaus muerz, the exhibition at the HDA – Haus der Architektur focuses on international projects and supplements these with current research from Graz University of Technology. In doing so, it opens up different perspectives on building with timber and serves as a starting point for discourse on the future of construction.
