“WOOD FINDS CITY”
”Innovative wood technology in the urban area
The traditional building material timber shows also in the city what it can - in a new dress.
In a six-storey social housing with passive house standard, in retirement homes, schools, company buildings and building restorations, its unbeatable strengths, in Graz and the surroundings, are convincing.
Innovative companies from the woody Styrian region are taking a pioneering role internationally and export prefabricated solid wood products to all over the world.
During an extended tour, we show you a wide range of buildings and bridges of wood, and, if desired, we may visit the manufacturers of these new timber products.
