The project, led by Dario Parigi from Aalborg University and Isak Worre Foged from The Royal Danish Academy, is a collaborative effort involving academic institutions, architecture firms, engineering companies, manufacturers, and forestry, representing the entire value chain to drive rapid implementation of sustainable wood solutions.
The project aims to increase the use of wood in construction while minimizing forest depletion and maintaining biodiversity. The project focuses on developing non-destructive methods for strength classification of recycled wood, using rapidly growing wood species, developing prefabricated building components made of graded recycled wood, and creating hybrid structures combining fast-growing species and recycled components. The goal is to enhance industry interest in using recycled wood and develop methods for evaluating and designing new hybrid wood structures.
