This is the main output of the Sustainable Modular Houses for People in Need, Project Number: 2021-1-EL01-KA220-VET-000025502. The “research–knowledge hub” (RKH) is an electronic library developed and created for containing detailed items of applied research in the field of timber construction design principles, circular economy, sustainable development and material availability in different regions of Europe.

RKH is an innovative tool for bibliographic search, an electronic library in all languages of the partners in which the project partners have uploaded complete methods of construction (assembly and disassembly), studies, reports, practical guides and case studies which are expected to assist on finding all the necessary resources under one umbrella. The purpose of the RKH is to be a valuable tool in the hands of both researchers but mostly for the professionals who are actually involved in the whole phase of delivering a modular unit for people in need (from design to construction).

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.
