This article presents how using wood for construction could avoid 100 gigatons of CO2 emissions through 2100, but building skylines of timber requires careful forest planning.

A number of key criteria that make timber a promising material for house constructions

The analysis of the concepts of emergency architecture, emergency planning and postdisaster reconstruction aids to understanding the contributions that could be provided by the architecture, the governments, the citizens and the institutions responsible for the disaster management in those situations.

This document introduces the activities and services of the Directorate General of Civil Protection and Emergencies in order to define who we are, what goals and future strategies we set, which activities and which quality commitments we have made, faced with these various actors involved in the civil protection system.

Considering its geographical area, climate and demographic features, wealth of natural resources, as well as the social framework and history of development of the Republic of Serbia, the green economy and green growth are the best paths for increasing the competitiveness of the Serbian economy. A shift of the development paradigm is not possible without changing the manner of producing, importing, transferring, distributing and consuming energy. The case study presenting benefits from building wooden houses highlights a possible solution for the problem of energy-efficient construction by using locally available material. Serbia has a decades-long tradition of wood construction technology.

Case study of projects of particular manufacturer from Croatia

This Guide is intended to provide an introduction to the fire safety design of timber buildings in compliance with the NCC (National Construction Code of Australia - volume 1).

The aim of this work is to stimulate providers of homes to design and produce affordable and sustainable houses. This not only scales up building production in empty fields but also within difficult and dense urban areas.

This paper presents an examination of architectural variety and spatial possibilities in current serial and modular multi-storey timber construction. It aims to draw a parallel between architectural characteristics and their elation to structural systems in timber. The research draws from a collection of 350 contemporary multi-storey timber building projects between 2000 and 2021. It consists of 300 built projects, 12 projects currently in construction, and 38 design proposals.

The prefabricated architecture improves the speed of construction, quality of architecture, efficiency of materials, and worker safety, while
limiting environmental impacts of construction, as compared to conventional site-built construction practices.

A roadmap for the decarbonisation of the building and
construction sector in Ireland

This paper examines the development and current status of prefabrication techniques and their application in building construction. An overview of the current UK house building market and its status in terms of the utilization of prefabrication techniques has been made. Investigation of past engineering practices and existing knowledge of prefabrication has allowed several low cost techniques to be summarised.

This paper gives an overview of some characteristic modern timber buildings in Slovenia and Sweden, and the different construction techniques that are used in these two countries. Successful initiatives supporting the use of timber in construction are also presented. The opportunities for the further development of sustainable timber constructions in Slovenia and Sweden lie in new production methods, high prefabrication, and energy-efficient and climate-effective architecture

Real cases in Australia that prove the swift in materials used for buildings

The deconstructable wood building system can then become an effective response to support social policies that involve local communities in sustainable development and participatory construction as tools for achieving adequate quality housing at affordable financial and environmental costs, promoting a sustainable way of living based on mutualism and cooperation.

The optimal size of the design module is the key measure of the project and its final choice represents the most responsible move of every architect in the initial phase of his work. The importance that belongs to this original measure is, therefore, decisive for the other measures of the project. And all of them, if possible, should be expressed in whole numbers - with factors of the construction or standard module. At this point it is useful to underline the concise American definition of module:
"The standard module is a unit of 1", used as a standard measurement supplement in the spacing of the standard grid. The standard grid represents a spatial (three-dimensional) orthogonal coordinate system to which all construction measurements, main and detailed, are added.

Today's measurement: By measuring a certain object whose dimensions (elevations) based on some other measuring unit, be it its size known or not, is not essentially correct. It's just there - that's it must be underlined - when it comes to the general view of the object, and without investment in the analysis of compositional methods that are influential or possible influence its final assembly. Living with these methods will remain problematic if it is not possible to perceive the intentions that are, in the end line, had to be expressed based on a specific unit of measurement and its alkworg parts, calculated elevations in all three spatial areas direction. Atrophomorphic measurment systems integration into the compositional methods of the past, specially explained on several characteristic examples of secondary stone plastic Boke Kotorska, Korčula and Dubrovnik

The specific intent of this paper is to set up the research of modular coordination in the work of Nikola Dobrovic. It is focused on two villas that were built by Dobrovic during the pre-war period: villa Vesna (1939) and villa Svid (1940), both placed in the region of Dubrovnik. In order to gain a closer insight into the design process of modern architects, these houses are subjected to structural and dimensional analyses. The investigation shows that the classical prin ciples of proportion are not abandoned, as suggested in the later explications of the author, but that they were put in the mode of crisis. This aberration has been interpreted in this work as a distinctive ‘opening to the future’, inherent ‘will to change’

The paper presents the results of analysis of anisotropy of transverse swelling of the Serbian spruce wood. The analysis included six trees that come from plantations and nine trees from natural stands of Serbian spruce, and a total of 3098 samples were tested

The basic physical properties of spruce wood from plantations in the surroundings of Banja Luka were researched.

First CLT building certified Low Energy Passive is located near Oradea, in Bihor County and has a modern and spectacular arhitecture.

ASFOR - The Association of Forestry and Wood Workers in Romania is promoting a strategic plan in 10 steps for a "green Romania". The intensive use of the wood in construction will become part of the government policy until 2030.

Practical guide I - A short description and definition of CLT panels

A team made up of Romanian engineers, architects and structural engineers represented Romania in the Solar Decathlon Europe 2019 competition in Hungary, presenting an innovative and bold project within the project of rehabilitating buildings/blocks of houses from the 80s, (but also as a variant of passive house) built from sustainable materials. The prototype house was produced from modules, transported to Hungary, then disassembled and relocated back to Romania.

Durability of main Serbian wood species is discussed.
