Finland, the most wooded country from Europe offers approximately 15 million m3 timber beyond the needs of wooden material.
In Finland, the constructions in wood represent a secular tradition. Initially, the specific wooden houses was met especially in rural areas and it was confined to the construction of houses in solid wood with a single floor.
From the 90s, with the advent of modern design ideas, the wood is more and more employed in office buildings or dwellings, in houses or in buildings, just as in parks, in the fittings of gardens, green spaces, etc.
With the development of new technologies, the wood keeps unequivocally his role and his first place in the construction sector, as the latest trend in Finland is the construction of residential areas entirely of wood.
In this context, architectural creativity leaves to this noble material it’s freely expression, without any borders. |
