Architektur ist kein Haus. Architektur ist eine Disziplin, in der Lebensrealitäten verhandelt werden. Architektur berührt uns alle. Gerade in Zeiten des Umbruchs gibt das Haus der Architektur Raum für diese Auseinandersetzung – mit fachlicher Expertise und im Dialog mit der Öffentlichkeit.

Die Ausstellung wurde im Rahmen einer Lehrveranstaltung mit Architekturstudierenden der TU Graz erarbeitet. Ausstellungseröffnung: Mittwoch, 2. September um 18 Uhr im HDA

Timber construction is at the forefront of efforts to make architecture and the construction industry more sustainable. Yet simply building with timber does not, in itself, make a building sustainable. Through a selection of exemplary projects, the exhibition Timber Architecture: PEOPLE. PLACE. HOME. COMMON SENSE. explores the social, cultural, spatial and constructive qualities that make timber architecture fit for the future.
Following its first presentation at kunsthaus muerz, the exhibition is now shown at HDA – House of Architecture, where it places a stronger emphasis on international projects and is complemented by current research from Graz University of Technology. In doing so, it opens up diverse perspectives on building with timber and serves as a starting point for a broader discussion on the future of construction.
