REGS World Topics Vol. 25: Timber Architecture Paving the Way for Sustainable Cities
This edition highlights the renewed global attention on timber architecture as a sustainable building solution. As environmental awareness grows and construction technologies advance, timber is emerging as a compelling alternative for urban development.
Timber Architecture: Shaping the Future of Sustainable Cities
With the adoption of innovative technologies such as CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) and hybrid structures, timber architecture is now capable of supporting high-rise and complex designs—applications once considered beyond its reach. Its natural properties, including humidity control, thermal insulation, and visual warmth, also contribute to healthier, more comfortable living environments. As a result, timber is gaining recognition worldwide as a forward-looking approach to sustainable urban construction.
At GARDE, our design and development teams collaborate to drive urban and regional projects that incorporate timber architecture. Through design concepts grounded in environmental responsibility and the use of local resources, we are helping to shape the next generation of sustainable spaces.
