Holzbau berühren, begreifen, verstehen

On behalf of the Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects (SIA), the CLB Switzerland opens its doors to selected planners, institutional and public clients, as well as experts from the real estate and construction industry. Under the name “Holzbau berühren.. Events”, we invite you several times a year to visit outstanding multi-storey timber buildings in Switzerland.

Our goal is to raise awareness of timber construction as one of the central solutions for achieving the climate targets for a CO₂-neutral Switzerland by 2050. The use of wood in construction offers enormous ecological advantages: 1 cubic meter of wood can bind up to 1 ton of CO₂. By highlighting the advantages of this sustainable construction method, we aim to help steer the construction industry towards a more climate-friendly future.

At our events, participants gain access to otherwise inaccessible projects and gain valuable insights into new technologies and approaches. Clients, planners and operators provide exciting background information on site, while engineers and general contractors are available to answer questions during tours. Our tours are the ideal opportunity to find out about the latest developments in timber construction and to be inspired by real projects.

Have we sparked your interest? We would be delighted to meet you in person at one of our next “Holzbau berühren... Events”!
