Architects, builders and wood workers need to make note of the dates October 2-3, 2014 at the BEC. The 5th International Forum on Architecture and Construction in Wood is set to bring together renowned architects and engineers from all over the world to share their views and their experience in the rational, sustainable use of wood for construction. In the wake of the success of earlier editions, EGURTEK seeks to continue publicising the qualities of wood as a construction material and encouraging specialists to use it. With that in mind, the main objectives of the event are: - To promote the use of wood in the construction sector. - To support and improve the position of 2nd stage wood processing companies. - To help and promote sustainable construction. - To introduce new concepts and types of construction to architects and engineers. - To train future specialists in construction in wood. To that end, presentations, talks and technical seminars will be arranged so that visitors can obtain first-hand knowledge of cutting-edge techniques for using wood.

EGURTEK 2012

A WELL CONSOLIDATED EVENT The 4th International Forum on Architecture and Construction in Wood, which took place on October 3-5, 2012, brought together 1,043 delegates: 63% more than the previous edition. This shows that the event has reinforced and consolidated its position, and that its importance continues to grow with each new edition. The Symposium was attended by architects, engineers, construction technicians, wood-working specialists, municipal councils and public institutions, universities and research centres. They all shared their experiences and presented new techniques and uses for wood.
