Composite Wood
MATEngineered wood materials and their applications in contemporary architecture and design projects.
Composite wood encompasses manufactured wood products created by combining wood fibers, veneers, or particles with adhesives and resins. These materials offer designers alternatives to solid timber while enabling structural innovation, sustainability considerations, and cost efficiency in building and furniture design.The community explores composite wood through residential and public architecture, from apartment blocks and housing developments to pavilions and institutional buildings. Members document how engineered wood performs as a primary structural material, its integration with other materials like stone, and its role in forest-integrated and temporary architectural interventions.
