With its organic heat, inherent sense of sweetness, and many ecofriendly properties, including the ability to provide thermal insulation and thermal storage and control of moisture, wood is the material ideal building for the future. Here are nine examples of wooden buildings that could turn a new leaf in the history of architecture.

1 Clean- aligned, Ecofriendly Timber Home Japan
Location Fujinomiya, Shizuoka, Japan
Architect Yoshiaki amino and Heisei Corporation
Key strengths comfortable microclimate within; that directly benefit those working in the wood industry using unwanted wood
The house is known as Ki no Katamari no Ie (House of thick Timbers ) and is the result of collaboration between Yoshiaki amino, a university professor and architect specializing in wooden structures, and Heisei Corporation, a construction company known for high quality carpentry and architectural design in wood. The house is the brainchild of the architect to build a healthy environment for aging parents while leveraging ecofriendly properties of wood.
'Wood is a building material with many useful properties, as strong and a good thermal insulator, providing storage of heat, and humidity control. It is perfect for creating a comfortable living environment, "says Amino. The house is built of mostly domestic Japanese cedar low market value (because of irregularities) to take full advantage of these properties environmentally friendly.
A square was used to minimize the outer wall surface and expose as little as possible of the weather. Solar panels on the roof hot water supply. In addition, the kitchen has a wood stove in Switzerland which also provides heat to a hot water tank used for hot water and heat in winter.
The south facade is crossed only by deep high windows and side lights, which create a relaxing interior full of indirect natural light and shade.

Why wood?
Wood and its properties are used in a natural way to create this innovative home. Since the walls, roof and floor of the second level are all built on softwood 12cm thick normally used for structural elements such as columns, joists and beams, the house is structurally much stronger and is more than traditionally built wooden houses fireproof.
Since just enough heat is stored in the thick walls, roof and floor, the house remains at a comfortable temperature throughout the year. The mother of the architect, who lives in the house, said she "never felt either very cold or very hot. The wood is left unfinished, except for the treatment against termites, making it easy future use after partial demolition and low environmental impact upon disposal.

home contains three times the amount of wood generally used in a conventional house, but it is all dead animals low market value. A portion of the interior wall, for example, is built with low cost, visually irregular stud material with cracks and rounded corners, but the irregularity is what gives character to the walls.
"Due to the wood market which gives preference to standardized products, as well as the fact that consumers generally favor the wood that looks good, a pile of wood does not get used, said amino. "We bought the wood from the factory, so our money goes directly to people working at the plant and in the forest."

'Just Wood is the best building material, it is, "said Sandra Frank, Director of Marketing Folkhem." Living in a wooden house is in good health, and wood creates a warm and welcoming feeling. the acoustics are great, and you know you are contributing to a sustainable future. "
the fact that Sweden has a long history of wood construction, as the material is abundant in the country may therefore not surprise, but what many people do not realize that the prohibition of the construction of wooden structures over two stories high has been forced in the 19th century due to numerous fires raging in buildings wood. It was not until 1994 (when Sweden joined the EU) that the ban was lifted and all wooden structures were reintroduced (as long as they meet the requirements in areas such as strength fire).
Today, Swedish designers are pushing the limits of what can be constructed of wood, with ever higher buildings, more and more daring.

Folkhem now proposes build 6,000 homes before 2024. The company has commissioned well-known architects to create proposals structures that are beautiful to look at and pleasant to live.
"One of our main aims is to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide released during the construction process. If we build 6,000 wooden houses instead of concrete, we will save 0,000 tons of carbon dioxide, "says Frank.

'the finished wooden interior creates a feeling of warmth and a calming effect, tactile quality unmatched by walls of standard plaster, said architect Sam Booth. "The timber also has the ability to regulate the humidity of the interior space and to store heat through its thermal mass, creating an environment that is more uniformly heated.
"Because of my experience in the manufacture of furniture and as the creator of wooden objects, I see the Echo that more projects of furniture placed on a landscape that people can live, rather than conventional buildings, he said.

"We faced an ambitious space requirement on a small plot. At the same time, we do not want to make room which felt small and cramped, so we used the wood for a relaxed atmosphere, "says Markus Bonauer, one of the architects who designed the building.
'You could say that we have tried to think of a wooden house in a holistic manner. The house is made entirely of wood inside and outside. The structure is wood, it is insulated with wood, and is finished with wood. We basically left all untreated wood - we just oiled and whitewashed it. In this way, it is completely compostable.

Why wood?
Guthrie chose wood as the dominant exterior material for several reasons. Wood resists and helps the building blend into the natural landscape of the site.
The oiled clear cedar is an ideal low-maintenance coating of a hard coastal environment, as oil keeps the wood from drying and protects against fungal deterioration, improving long-term sustainability all cladding which allows it to age naturally. Left unstained cedar bleaches to a silvery gray tone in a few years.
Guthrie regularly chooses the wood as raw material for his drawings. "It offers a lot of versatility in finishing and texture, either left natural or painted," he says. "The natural quality of wood imparts an organic heat to buildings is important in a society increasingly complex and urbanized.

Why wood?
"We used wood for the façade, not only for better integration of the house into the landscape, but to create a surface which acts as an air chamber ventilated. We used recycled pallets and local joint pin with a matt varnish, because it is cheap and easy to find in the region. We also used the Oregon pine recovered from a demolition site to build the interior furniture, "the architects Jaime Gaztelu and Mauricio Galeano say.
used pallets panels allow the house to dress and undress "through its double wooden skin. Pallets are open in the winter to allow the sun to heat the metal surface of the container walls, providing heat without emissions for the home. In the summer months, the pallets remain closed to protect the house from solar gain, while providing natural air conditioning with the ventilated air chamber created by the double skin.

The architects also point some difficulties with wood construction. "We would like to use more wood, but it is an expensive material if you want to meet all the requirements needed for the project and whether it comes from certified forests. Moreover, it requires careful maintenance that everyone is willing to do. So we use generally much more for details on the inside for the structure or the façade.
The architects usually use wood recovered from demolished houses and buildings on their projects. "We found the wood for the house in Valparaiso, Chile. Wood is Oregon pine or bay, about 100 years, so the timber has more than stabilized.
