The woodworking industry in Upper Austria proves that it drives not only tradition, but also innovation in the area of ​​timber construction. Wood, as a renewable raw material, offers both ecological advantages and numerous architectural possibilities.

Despite economic challenges, the jury emphasizes the courage of the building authority to rely on wood as a building material. Initiatives such as the awarding of the OÖ Holzbau Award, organized by initiators such as the Building Innovation Cluster and the specialist representative of the wood industry, underline the importance of timber construction in the region. "The projects show the diverse and sustainable potential of the timber construction in Upper Austria," says lko.at

The innovative work of the architects and timber construction companies is crucial to meet future requirements in construction. It is also recommended to include sustainability more in the construction concepts in order to further increase the quality of timber buildings.

The project "Dimonious Planning and Building in Wood Building" shows how well -thought -out solutions can be created for the reusability of wooden components and thus actively contributes to climate protection. In the construction industry, Holz undoubtedly has a promising future that not only enriches our everyday building, but also the cityscape.
