From Seed to Structure

As the construction of climate-friendly cities gains momentum, the use of nature-based, renewable materials is becoming increasingly important. This session will explore how comprehensive wood-based building strategies can inspire the wider use of wood in Türkiye, focusing on its integration with local forestry policies, production chains, and design culture. Using the Swedish example as a good practice, the discussion will address how a roadmap can be developed for Türkiye. The journey of wood, from seed to structure, will be examined through the lenses of sustainable forest management, building technologies, and design policies.
