Wood World Tour No. 4 “Construction meets Architecture”

Name: Wood World Tour No. 4 “Construction meets Architecture”
Brand: Steiermark
Rating: 4 (1 reviews)

Open

The Holzwelt Murau dealt with the topic of wood and architecture very early on.

Architects and designers met in Murau and much of what was created in the 20th and 21st centuries bears this signature. A rural region like the Holzwelt Murau proves that new and modern things are emerging here too. Wood builds bridges and provides a home.

The architectural masterpieces that can be experienced in the Holzwelt Murau cannot be more accurately summarized. The Holzeuropa Bridge – a heavy-duty bridge made of wood – and the parking garage are the most visible signs that “WOOD” has been redefined as a building material. Bridges, wooden walkways, modern private buildings and municipal facilities that have won multiple awards are worth a trip to the Murau Wood World to experience wood in construction and architecture.
