Wood, a historical building material, is gaining popularity in contemporary architecture due to its environmental sustainability. Trees store carbon dioxide, reducing greenhouse gas emissions when harvested sustainably. Various modifications and techniques have evolved to adapt wood’s characteristics for modern construction demands. Engineered wood, which binds layers of wood particles with adhesives, enhances strength and stability while allowing for the creation of large structures from small tree sections. Common forms include Glulam, Cross Laminated Timber, and Laminated Veneer Lumber, each providing unique structural attributes.
Engineered wood, created by binding layers of wood particles using adhesives, optimizes strength and stability while enabling large structural elements from smaller sections of trees.
Sustainably harvested trees absorb carbon dioxide during growth, contributing to less greenhouse gas emissions when their wood is used in construction.
Techniques such as thermal modification and engineered wood expand the usability of wood in modern architecture, ensuring it can meet contemporary design and construction demands.
Common types of engineered wood include Glulam, Cross Laminated Timber (CLT), and Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL), each offering distinct structural qualities.
