Introduction -- Inspired by Nature: The Wood Structure for Natural Architecture - Examples of Projects in Different Climate Zones -- Timber as a Sustainable Construction Material in Malaysia -- Multiple Ways of Using Timber for Sustainability in Buildings and the Future Approach -- Energy and Environmental Performance of Prefabricated Wooden Buildings -- Organic Construction Material - Applicability in Continental Climate -- Sustainable Wooden Construction of Traditional Houses in Moderate Humid Climate of North Iran -- Sustainable Buildings Wood Attraction in Vernacular Islamic Architecture: Solar Shading Devices and Natural Ventilation for Indoor Comfort -- Bamboo: The Forgotten Versatile Material -- Green Building Issues Using Wood and Timber in Buildings in the Arabian Gulf Countries -- Wood as a Sustainable Building Material From Old to Contemporary Experiences: Review and Assessment of Global and Egypt's Examples -- Wood Buildings in Portugal -- The Role of Wood in the Architectural History of Mosques in the Middle East -- One Floor at a Time: Cross-laminating a Sustainable Future for Mass Timber in North America -- Contemporary Wood Architecture for Sustainable Buildings -- The Role of Wood in Current Sustainable Building in Thailand as Architectural Ornaments -- Sustainability of Malay Wood Craftsmanship for Malaysia's Regional -- Architectural Identity -- Traditional Uses of Wood in Architecture -- The Use of CLT and Timber Technology in Current Construction and Its Impact on the Advances on Environmental Design -- Conclusions.

This book emphasizes the important message that architects and structural engineers must strive to ensure that the buildings they design and construct should not be major contributors to climate change. Rather, they should be exploring the use of green materials and building methods--such as timber, wood, and associated materials--in order to safeguard the environment. These sustainable materials are not only environmentally friendly, but they have the added benefit of being easy to manufacture, cost-effective, often locally available, and easily replenished. Moreover, it has been demonstrated that wood and timber are viable materials in the construction of a wide variety of building types, including medium and high-rise buildings. The Importance of Wood and Timber in Sustainable Buildings brings together a distinguished group of contributors from different cultures and building traditions to address why now is the time to rethink our construction methods and explore replacing many of the carbon intensive materials that are currently being used with wood and timber. Highlight the benefits of timber and wood construction; Considers the effect of wood and timber construction on carbon emissions; Includes contributions and case studies from varied geographical regions.
