GAM.17: Architectural Potentials of the Material wooda

Cover image of the current issue of the Graz Architecture Magazine GAM.17 'Wood. Rethinking Material'. The current issue of the Graz Architecture Magazine (GAM) takes a fresh look at the architectural complexity of wood and explores the material's potential for a more climate-friendly building industry. The new thinking of wood as a highly modern and changeable building material, capable of handling complex architectural tasks, has just begun. But can wood also deliver on the promise of being a "sustainable" building material? The contributions in GAM.17 "Wood. Rethinking Material" re-evaluate wood as an architectural material and discuss its potential for a more climate-friendly building industry from the perspectives of cultural history, ecology, trade policy, construction and aesthetics. The Faculty of Architecture at TU Graz presented GAM.17 on Tuesday, 18th May 2021.
