Wooden Architecture: Projects, Journals & Ideas

About Discussions Projects11 Journals30

Wooden architecture uses timber as its primary structural and envelope material, from log and post-and-beam construction to engineered laminated and cross-laminated systems. Designers working in wood must account for moisture, fire performance, joinery, and the material's renewable character, which together shape both form and detailing. Traditional timber traditions remain a reference point for contemporary practice.

Member work under this topic ranges from homestays and cabins that draw on vernacular timber building in Vietnam and Portugal to large-scale pavilions, cultural parks, and urban housing projects. Together these examples show how wood is applied across scales, climates, and building types.
