What Our Lecturers Say

  • P

    Wood as a material offers enormous design potential for architecture and engineering. It can be used in a wide variety of ways. What fascinates me about wood is not only the aesthetic expression of the material, but also the special tectonics and the precision of digital production methods.

    Prof. Stephan Birk
    Dipl.-Ing. Architekt BDA, Professor for Architecture and Timber Construction, TUM

  • Using timber construction meaningful and with a sense of proportion – we want to impart the sound specialist knowledge for this.

    Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Winter
    Chair of Timber Structures and Building Construction, TUM”

  • Comprehensive knowledge of timber construction is the key to serving the exploding demand for building concepts with renewable raw materials.
