Wooden buildings, 15 extraordinary examples.

Wood is one of the first building materials to be used by man and remains one of the most versatile. In these wooden buildings, beams, columns and boards have been used to construct very different projects, from a Japanese museum with an interlocking grid structure, simple only in appearance, to a concert hall with an undulating shape in Norway, whose shape creates the ideal acoustic conditions for the performing arts. With the technological advancement of the 21st century and the introduction of solid wood and increasing government approvals for its use in structures of all types, the world of architecture is experiencing a renewed interest in this natural material. As a renewable and often local material, wood is one of the main construction elements of low-carbon buildings that look towards a sustainable future. We have reviewed the 15 most important wooden buildings in this sense, created by world-famous architects who have chosen to use this material without sacrificing aesthetics.
