Træ Wood

On tree's potential as part of a sustainable development of the construction.
Wood is a natural material, which is readily available and a renewable resource.For these reasons, as well as many others, wood has been used in contruction for millennia.As well as these attributes, wood's many physical properties and the fact that it can be shaped and applied in many different ways, endow it with high architectural value.But, most important of all, wood unquestionably offers a variety of advantages in terms of its sustainable qualities.It is these which CINARK (Centre for Industrialised Architecture) wish to showcase in this publication.Today there is much to suggest that wood is on the verge of a renaissance in the construction sector.New timber products and timber-construction techniques have been developed, and the demand for building sustainably is greater now than ever before.Not only is the focus on the use of resources such as materials and energy in buildings, there is also an understanding that it is equally important to develop solutions, which prevent increasing environmental pollution.
