In this sense, wood occupies a privileged positioned among the remaining materials used in construction.
The Workshop will address several topics, including: the role of wood in the architecture, design issues, detailing and durability of timber structures, as well as the most recent innovations and developments in the sector both nationally and internationally.. The event will also have a set of Reference Case Presentation Sessions on wooden structures.
