Sense and sensibility
Sustainability in timber construction is still defined by the degree of usefulness and resource efficiency. In this strictly technical view, however, the aesthetic quality of timber construction is not considered. Durability and good design, that is sustainability in the true sense of the word and therein lies the strength of timber construction- it combines sense and sensibility.
