'Building with Timber'

With the global population rising and with this the percentage of people living in cities (estimation is around 70% in 2060), the need for living space in cities will further increase. Despite the fact living in cities is equated with a higher quality of life, there is a down side: buildings are accounted for about 10% of all worlds greenhouse gases, which is for the most due to the construction phase with the use of huge amounts of steel and concrete.

We from STUDENT-labs are therefore proud to announce the theme of our first challenge: Building with Timber!

In a period of four weeks, you as a student, will either work individually or in a team on a project. You have to come up with innovative ideas for building with timber and solutions to decrease greenhouse emissions in the construction sector.

We are looking for students who are motivated and enthusiastic, can think out of the box and want to make contact with real work environment. The challenge will start with a kick-off meeting on 12.03. During the next four weeks you work on the challenge in your own free time, while we make work material available. On 23.04. the results of all participants will be presented and the winner will be announced. The total price money is €500.
