The 21st Century is truly the advent of a new era of building practices and techniques and wood is right at the center of it all. As new building technologies emerge, so do a vast array of new uses and applications for wood in construction, both structurally and internally. Wood’s age-old inherent advantages – renewability, energy-efficiency and carbon neutrality – place it at the top of the materials list in nearly every category of emerging building technology.
