This year’s Build.Nature DocSchool Challenge within the Lecture Cycle of Materials set a unique task: design and construct a brand-new BOKU logo installation …. and our doctoral students truly delivered!

From the first sketch to the final placement, the students planned, milled, cast, and assembled the entire structure themselves. Using our industrial robot, they fabricated the wooden letters, poured the concrete foundation, and built everything in our IGCE lab at the Türkenschanze.

The result is now proudly displayed at the entrance of BOKU on Peter-Jordan-Straße, perfect for a quick break, a photo with your favorite university, or simply to appreciate what hands-on, student-driven craftsmanship can achieve.

A huge thank you to our committed doctoral students and the BOKU rectorate for making this great project possible!
