The students studied the physical and mechanical properties, species selection, wood processing, application of laser technology, Structures wood, wood with textile reinforcements and joining systems.

They also had the opportunity to apply their knowledge to the development of a 50 m2 house built entirely of wood. The houses were located in Cuzco, Dresden and Oslo, in order to compare three very different climates and environments from the point of view of wood use and energy performance. The Full Professor at the high school of Steel and Wood of the University of Dresden, Professor Peer Haller supervised and guided the projects realized by the students.
