Using sustainable timber in architecture in Vietnam
Sustainable architecture trends influence the choice of materials both indoors and outdoors, making timber a strongly preferred material. Increasing numbers of architects, developers, governments, educational institutions and corporations are embracing wood, since timber replace other construction materials in many structures while providing the same functionality. The combination of a rising concern about global warming and sustainability; a growing desire to preserve traditional Vietnamese culture; recent scientific and technological advances which have made wood an even more versatile building resource; and an international push for increased use of timber in construction, makes Vietnam’s timber architecture perfectly placed for expansion. The article presents findings on why using timber is good for environment and the use of timber in design as well as timber revolution in construction and architecture in Vietnam. By applying new technology and methods, and through using sustainably-sourced plantation wood, there is huge potential for the revival of wooden architecture in Vietnam. This would have significant environmental and economic advantages for the country and most importantly, create opportunities to continue the long-standing tradition of using wood for thousands of years in the construction and architectural works, from traditional houses to public buildings for community in Vietnam.
