About this ebook
Future of Wood explores the exciting potential of wood as a key material for a sustainable future, highlighting its resurgence through technological innovation and environmentally conscious practices. The book argues that advancements in engineered wood products, like cross-laminated timber (CLT), are transforming construction. It challenges conventional reliance on concrete and steel by showcasing wood's carbon sequestration abilities and its role in green building. This offers a fresh perspective on how we can construct buildings while minimizing environmental impact. The book uniquely combines insights from technology and environmental science, demonstrating how sustainable forestry management and innovative building designs can work together. For example, wood's life-cycle assessment often reveals a lower environmental footprint compared to other materials. Beginning with technological advancements like mass timber construction, the book progresses through environmental considerations, modern applications in construction and design, and culminates in a future vision where wood dominates urban development. It's a comprehensive look at how wood can be a vital component of a circular economy.
