The Summer School took place at the Wissenscampus in Kuchl in Salzburg, Austria. Due to its long tradition of timber construction, Kuchl is also known locally as the “Timber Town”. The Wissenscampus Kuchl, a conglomerate of different educational institutions for timber construction and marketing organisations of the Austrian timber industry. An inspiring network of know-how and innovation. We are preparing the summer school in close cooperation with the Holztechnikum and the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Campus Kuchl.
In 2025, we incorporated reeds and straw into the workshop materials. Participants built a garden pavilion that was later sold and is now being used in a garden in Vorarlberg.
During the rammed earth workshop, two wall elements were produced for the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences.
