About
Cátedra Maderamen, created in 2021 by the Universitat Politècnica de València and the Valencian Institute of Building with the support of the Generalitat Valenciana, aims to promote and develop activities that make visible the need and importance of wood in the design and improvement of the built habitat, seeking its decarbonization, favoring circularity, creating equitable, healthy and resilient environments, through innovation, digitalization and industrialization of the sector.
Among other activities, it organizes an annual Design&Build workshop at the Universitat Politècnica de València that consists of the design and construction by students of a wooden structure with some social orientation. This educational innovation project is linked to development cooperation or local action actions, always in contact with some entity in the sector and other universities.
