Wood Symposium: Wood, Health and Sound
Join us for the International Conference on "Wood, Health, and Sound" on September 17, 2025, in Tokyo, Japan. Experts from Austria, Japan and beyond will gather in Tokyo for a unique hybrid conference exploring the intersection of wood, health, and acoustic design. The event will highlight how traditional materials like wood can shape the future of sustainable architecture, contribute to human well-being, and influence our sensory experiences. With keynotes from renowned architects, medical experts and academics, the conference will offer valuable insights into the cultural, scientific and therapeutic dimensions of wood.
Participants can look forward to thought-provoking presentations, a high-level panel discussion and a lively exchange of ideas across disciplines. The conference will be held in Japanese with simultaneous English interpretation and is open to in-person and online attendees. Join us to discover why wood is much more than just a building material.
