TURNING POINT IN TIMBER CONSTRUCTION - ULRICH D...

Faced with man-made climate change and the need to provide housing for a growing world
population  society needs to rethink the way future buildings are made. Wood is a truly
renewable building material that is unlimited in supply if its growth and harvest are
sustainably managed. Recent technological advancements in engineering allow the use of timber
for the construction of multi-story structures  turning our buildings into carbon sinks rather
than becoming sources for CO2-emissions.The book presents convincing arguments for the
increased use of wood as an alternative to more fossil fuel intensive building materials  with
the goal of demonstrating that an integrated approach can have the potential for positive
impact on the environment  local economies  and the building culture at large.
