Sanierung und Erweiterung einer Schule mit Brettsperrholz-Elementen

proHolz Austria, in an international collaboration with the TU Graz, the University of Maribor and the University of Zagreb, is organising a workshop in the form of a Master class for undergraduate students of architecture and civil engineering. Under the professional guidance of professors from the local university and the TU Graz the 24 participants will in 10 interdisciplinary groups design a concept of modular elements consisting of CLT and structural glass for an upgrading and the renovation of a school built in the 1970s in the urban area of Graz.

Within the Master class they will learn new technologies in building with wood and gain the practical experience in working with wood.
