Forester's Lodge
Project BA - Architecture and Timber Construction
Winter term 24/25 (12 ECTS)
In times of climate change and growing ecological challenges, forests play a central role: they protect biodiversity, provide a habitat for numerous species, are an important carbon sink and provide the renewable raw material wood for a wide range of applications. For many people, the forest is also a place of recreation and longing. Forestry and forest management are crucial to maintaining ecological balance in the face of increasingly divergent demands. The principle of sustainable forest use, formulated by Hans Carl von Carlowitz in 1713, remains the guiding principle: 'Do not cut more wood than will grow back'.
Foresters play an important role in the forest. They are responsible for maintenance and reforestation to ensure the health and stability of the forest. They oversee game management and hunting to ensure a balance between game populations and forest areas. Another important area is outreach work, particularly in the form of environmental education and forest pedagogy, to communicate the importance of sustainable forestry to the public, schools and interested parties.
The focus of the bachelor project in the winter semester 2024/25 is the development of a sustainable and future-oriented forester's lodge. This building should not only provide space for practical and scientific research into the sustainable use of wood, but also contribute to strengthening the regional value chain. the principles of sustainable resource use and ecological construction are to be taken into account in the design of a forester's lodge in the Ebersberg Forest. The consistent use of wood from Bavarian state forests not only makes an important contribution to reducing CO2 emissions, but also promotes sustainable forest management in the region.
