THE ENGINEERED WOOD PRODUCTS APPLICATION IN VERNACULAR AND CONTEMPORARY ARCHITECTURE IN MACEDONIA

Abstract

In the distant past, wood was intensely used in Macedonia as one of the most important structural materials, available locally since ancient times. Therefore, the wood application in Macedonian vernacular architecture was inevitable, and with a wide range in the building construction, roofing, facade as cladding material, stairs, doors, window frames, and for different elements in the interior design. Despite this wide usage of wood in the past, nowadays, in Macedonia, wood is mostly used in mountain regions for massive timber buildings, in the interior design, or as an external facade decoration due to its appealing aesthetics. Some new companies that manufacture single-family timber housing are arising. In the last two decades, a new class of structural wood products was developed to form the basis for a range of building solutions that were increasingly functional, based on a combination of performance and sustainability characteristics. This has been possible because of new industrial processes that provide increased dimensions and superior engineering properties for structural products that can use manufacturing residues, lower-grade and smaller diameter trees as feedstock. The result is a category of products broadly known as engineered wood products (EWPs) which are increasingly being adopted in architectural design and building applications in Macedonia also.
