OPENING EVENT
Building for the real estate and housing industries
Moderation: Sandra Burlet, Lignum – Holzwirtschaft Schweiz, Zurich (SUI)
Large-volume, multi-storey building with wood for the real estate and housing industries is spreading rapidly. As a result, wood construction is increasingly competing with mineral-based construction for investment properties. To succeed in this market, it must assert itself in a direct comparison of economic indicators. Transparency increases the pressure to further simplify, digitize, standardize and industrialize wood construction in order to reduce costs. Industry 4.0 processes and procedures are in demand to maintain and expand the technical advantage of wood construction over the competition. The advantages in terms of better construction quality and shorther constructiontime are gaining weight. The ecological features, however, remain the ace for wood in the sustainability discourse and thus continue to have a strong impact on investors.

Market changes in the wood construction value chain. How will wood (house) construction change?
Moderation: Georg Lange, Bundesverband Deutscher Fertigbau (BDF), Bad Honnef (GER) and Christian Murhammer, Österreichischer Fertighausverband (ÖFV), Vienna (AUT)
For years, wood-based construction methods have been gaining market share and are thus asserting themselves against the obstacles. New players are appearing, especially those who were previously known for concrete and masonry construction. Beyond that, wood construction is receiving political support and so does serial production as it combines the core goals of modern politics: digitization, sustainability and rapid processing – all necessary ingredients for a climate-neutral future. The wood construction is ready for the tasks ahead and the necessary transformations.

Building in existing urban infrastructure: Old and new potential for wood construction
Moderation: Siegfried Fritz, Vizepräsident Timber Construction Europe, Berlin (GER)
As part of the European Green Deal, the European Union (EU) is planning a renovation strategy to make buildings more energy-efficient across the EU. Dealing with existing urban infrastructure thus becomes a central sustainable strategy for municipalities and cities. The focus is not only on the energetic upgrading of the buildings, but also on their revitalization, expansion or conversion. The potential is huge and wood construction plays a key role. As a climate-protecting and resource-saving method, wood construction allows to revitalize existing buildings, expand them, create completely new ones or put them to a new use.

Temporary buildings for art and culture
Moderation: Ass. Prof. Dr. Tobias Schauerte, Linnaeus University, Växjö (SWE)
The advantages of the temporary wood construction are their low cost, quick assembly and high flexibility, which allows for the building to easily disappear again if necessary. As a controlled intermediate use, temporary buildings can also take on an important function in urban development. They can help explore new uses without making large investments. The current major projects are interim solutions with the highest demands in terms of design, construction and room acoustics.

TIMBER STRUCTURES
Wood structures are unique and different from other structures from an environmental point of view. As a natural and renewable resource, wood has qualities that are vital to our survival. If wood as a building material did not exist, we would have to invent it. Accordingly, all stakeholders in the construction industry are called upon to ensure that wood plays a greater role as a construction material than in the recent past.
Block A
Exposed engineering structures
Moderation: Prof. Dr. Philipp Dietsch, Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, Karlsruhe(GER)
Modern manufacturing techniques not only allow simple, straight constructions but also arcs or free forms. These advances result in applications for exposed engineering structures such as visible roofs, towers or bridges. If the knowledge of constructive wood protection is appropriately taken into account when planning, structures are created in interaction with other building materials that are particularly attractive not only to timber engineers.

Future concepts for multi-storey wood construction
Moderation: Prof. Andreas Müller, Bern University of Applied Sciences, Biel/Bienne (SUI)
Multi-storey timber construction has been established worldwide with a large number of tall buildings with wood load-resisting systems in recent years. Since the early days of multi-storey building with wood, individual pilot projects have now become consistently optimized construction systems. In addition to the required cost-effectiveness, special attention is also paid to a high level of safety, durability and robustness. In addition to the planning security, many investors appreciate the aspects of sustainability and the professional planning and implementation processes, which reduce the risks compared to conventional construction methods, leading to excellent returns on the building.

Prof. Dr. Jörg Müller, Universität WürzburgProf. Dr. Tobias Stern, Universität Graz
As a result of climate change, certain competing uses for forest and wood are becoming more evident. Which raw materials can be replaced by wood? Under what conditions does this make sense? What framework conditions have to be created? At the same time, climate change is creat-ing opportunities in our commercial forests that promote highly endangered species. It is all the more important to carefully consider the alternatives.

More diversity in the forest and more timber construction – does it fit together?Presentations followed by a discussion forum
Prof. Dr. Rupert Seidl, Technische Universität München, München (GER)Prof.i.R. Dr. Alfred Teischinger (AUT)
The climate is changing rapidly and societal demands on nature are also changing. As a consequence, the forest of the future will also change - it will become more colorful and diverse and contain a new spectrum of tree species. What does this mean for wood construction? Does more diversity in the forest mean less wood construction or is it an opportunity for more diversity in construction? How can the forest and wood supply be brought into balance for the future construction? Experts will discuss the expected changes in the forest and the resulting technological challenges.
