Is a building with valuable timber structures about to be demolished in your area or in your neighborhood? Our professorship is looking for high-quality old wood from beams, girders, floorboards or similar elements. Ideally, the existing building should already be in the process of being dismantled.

The work "Umbauen & Umnutzen" by Korbinian Rapp and Vitus Kaufmann, created at the Chair of Circular Timber Construction (Head: T.T. Prof. Florian Kaiser) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), was awarded the student prize "Innovative Timber Use and Timber Construction Baden-Württemberg 2025".
