sapiens brings ancient japanese technique in italy reviving tradition with high-tech planks
Briefly

Sapiens has elegantly blended the ancient Japanese Shou Sugi Ban technique with modern technology to create sustainable, durable, and aesthetically striking wooden planks for projects like Volcanalia.
The Shou Sugi Ban technique, involving charring wood to create a waterproof and durable finish, embodies a historic collaboration between humans and nature, promoting sustainability in architecture.
Architects at ASA Studio emphasized the need for cladding that not only harmonizes with the volcanic landscape but also possesses the endurance and elegance suited for hospitality.
With a growing respect for the environment, Italy is increasingly embracing wood as a building material, marking a cultural shift in architectural practices.
