How we work

We are pioneers of sustainable building. We rely on collective intelligence, work with education, research and innovation in the real laboratory, think in cycles and thus take responsibility for our living space. With three departments, four institutes, a centre for development cooperation and a centre for the raw material wood, we build bridges between the disciplines.
