Construction with sustainable wood in the New European Bauhaus

Tue 19 Mar | 17:00 - 18:00

Construction with sustainable wood is a practice that aligns with the principles of the New European Bauhaus, an initiative of the European Commission that seeks to integrate aesthetics, sustainability and inclusion in the construction of buildings and urban spaces. On the one hand, wood is a renewable and sustainable material that can be harvested responsible, contributing to the reduction of the carbon footprint when acting as a carbon sink and requiring less energy during the manufacturing process compared to others Construction materials. On the other hand, the versatility of wood allows innovative and flexible designs that can meet the aesthetic and functional standards proposed by the New European Bauhaus. Wood can adapt to different architectural styles and provide creative solutions in construction. And to this is added its energy efficiency, the possibility of creating a community participation by involving local communities in the sustainable forest management and in the creation of local wood construction projects. The adoption of construction with sustainable wood can encourage social inclusion by generating employment in the forest supply chain and construction, benefiting local communities.
