An opportunity not to be missed for those who want to learn more
Professors who have contributed through the work of the University of Padua and Trent to place our region at the top in the field of wood structure design will speak. There will be speeches by designers who are bringing wood structures into the landscape of the most advanced metropolises.
The wood revolution in architecture
The wood revolution in architecture will be discussed. Not only is wood loved for the feeling it provides in homes, but it is also loved in the urban context. A wooden construction, even a multi-story building, is greeted by the neighborhood with pleasure, sympathy and admiration. Above all, building with wood involves the preservation, development and expansion of forests on our planet. The raw material of future housing is wood and it is taken from forests. The wood industry requires reforestation plans through which the planet is saved from the excessive carbon concertation it suffers from. Using wood is not only beautiful but also helpful in safeguarding future generations.
Wood, the material of the future
It is strange to think how today wood in all developed continents is emerging as the building material of the future. No one in the 1990s would have predicted this, and anyone even at the beginning of our century would have thought of our future as being populated by architecture that is very different from what is emerging. The goals of the developer and the designer have also changed greatly. The prospect of zero-consumption wood buildings and houses is now within reach and no longer an experimental frontier.
