 \nPage 74  \nTechnology and Innovation  \n4 FOREWORD  \nForeword  \nIf the terms naturalness, comfort and ecology are considered in the context of using materials for building future-oriented architecture, then it becomes apparent relatively quickly that this must concern the raw material wood.  \nWhether we are thinking about designer elements for defining high-quality architecture or focusing on the realisation of contemporary and sustainable buildings, wood as a natural raw material has established its position and is currently undergoing a revival quite unlike any other.  \nWood is trending: it is renewable, can be used in many ways and makes a contribution to climate protection as part of our responsibility to the generations after us.  \nWood is certainly one of the world’s oldest construction materials and this unique material has long been associated with tradition and rural cosiness.  \nSince the start of the new millennium, wood has found a niche in the new, modern and not least urban society, thanks to the material’s availability, various social developments and new technical possibilities.  \nThis study, which has its origins in scientific work, serves to identify present and future trends relevant to the future of timber construction. It seeks to widen the perspective of issues already known to the industry and raise awareness of social and technological developments and trends.  \nThe scientific approach, together with the Zukunftsinstitut and in dialogue with universities, architects and acknowledged experts, develops an exciting perspective, highlights prospective opportunities and potential and offers a future roadmap on a corporate strategic level. Required reading for everyone who wishes be actively involved in shaping the future of the timber construction industry.  \nWe hope what you read will inspire you.  \nWhat building in wood is all about is shown by the many award-winning showcase projects throughout the world, which communicate this positive development and make an important contribution to increasing the use of wood. Continuous technical development, the resulting new wood-based materials and, above all, society’s ever-rising consciousness of ecology and of the need for sustainable management of our available resources are further reasons why wood will be THE material of the 21st century.  \nHerbert Jöbstl  \nSVP Stora Enso Wood Products Central Europe  \n5 THE FUTURE OF TIMBER CONSTRUC","cbCaisNJ54YnbWz6","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisNJ54YnbWz6","pdf",4612436,108,"English","# Risking the Future: Social Changes through Megatrends\n# From Space to Place: Urbanisation on the Rise\n# Wevolution: New Forms of Society and Cooperation\n# Wood as a Material: A Renaissance in Timber Construction\n# Changing Demographics\n# The Voices of Industry: Expert Survey on Tomorrow's Timber Construction\n# The Massive Wood Market\n# Future Customers: How will we live in the Future?\n# Technology and Innovation","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the study on timber construction?\",\"answer\":\"The study aims to identify relevant present and future trends for timber construction by broadening known industry issues and highlighting social and technological developments.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the study emphasise wood in future-oriented building?\",\"answer\":\"Wood is presented as a natural raw material that supports naturalness, comfort and ecology, and it is described as renewable and important for climate protection.\"},{\"question\":\"Which future themes are covered beyond material innovation?\",\"answer\":\"The document addresses social megatrends such as urbanisation, new forms of society and cooperation, changing demographics, and industry perspectives through an expert survey.\"}]","The Future of Timber Construction - A study about changes, trends and technologies of tomorrow | PDF",272]
