Abstract
Affordability and sustainability are buzzwords of the construction debate today – and building with wood may be an answer to both. Not only that; it also has psychological and physical health benefits for the buildings’ eventual users. Pollyanna Rhee, a PhD candidate in history and theory of architecture at New York’s Columbia University, looks at how architects and initiatives around the world – from North America to Europe to Australia – are using this material for low-cost housing, notably in the form of sturdy cross-laminated timber (CLT).
