Possibilities of applying glued laminated timber in architectural design
Abstract
In accordance with modern tendencies in architectural design, in terms of improving the quality of life and meeting the needs for living in a pleasant and healthy environment, there is an increasing trend in the world to use natural materials in design and construction. One of the most widespread and most frequently used natural materials throughout history is wood. In addition to numerous positive characteristics that distinguish it, wood also has certain disadvantages that limit its application in the design and construction of architectural buildings. However, by applying modern technologies and methods of its processing and protection, it is possible to significantly improve the properties of wood without disturbing its form and basic characteristics. The paper deals with the possibilities of applying glued laminated wood in architecture, both in terms of construction and design, through the analysis of quality examples of constructed buildings of various architectural typologies.
