Sisältö

Wooden elements haven been used in structures since the dawn of mankind. Only in the 20th century the production of wooden building components and wooden products became industry and the production moved from construction sites to factories.

History of wood in construction is an essential part of the knowledge building process; there are plethora of useful technologies and solutions in wooden products in buildings that have either been forgotten in the history or are unknown to us because of different cultural and geographical location.

In this course, we look wooden products and building components broadly; we search historical and contemporary examples of wooden products in buildings. Together with students, we try to gather and share broad showcase of historical and contemporary cases of wood products as smart practises – both in buildings and building industry.
