We had a great exhibition and thank our students for their beautiful work!

As a mystical place of longing and an irreplaceable resource, the FOREST is an important basis of human culture on all continents. Expectations of it are growing: It is supposed to be a preserver of biodiversity, a climate savior, a storehouse of raw materials, a backdrop to fairy tales, and a local recreation destination. But what does this mean for the future coexistence between forests and humans in times of global droughts, fires, and more intensive forestry and agriculture?
In their work, our students drew attention to challenges and potentials in order to promote a mindful approach to our environment.

In the design project, we first learned about the forest in its different forms and studied its role as an actor in our ecosystem. In the next step, we identified specific places where a problematic point of human interaction with the forest was elaborated. The solutions to be elaborated resulted in an architectural intervention that depicts an overall narrative to show opportunities for a better coexistence of forests and humans.

On February 1^st, 2023, the Kick-off Meeting for the research project “Timber Use and Maintain – TU&M”, started on January 1^st the same year, was held at the Wood Research Institute in Munich. The project aims to develop circular timber frame elements considering their technical, environmental and economic feasibility.

The project emerged from the TUM.wood network (holz.tum.de) at the Technical University of Munich and includes the professorships on Wood Science, Timber Structures and Building Construction, Architecture and Timber Construction, Architectural Informatics and Circular Economy. The industry partners are Haas Fertigbau and Brüninghoff Group. The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL) coordinated by the Agency of Renewable Resources (FNR).
