Prospects of sustainable wood building architecture

The responsibility of an architect as a subject or actor in realizing a work; must consider the conditions and situations of the physical and social environment, taking into account aspects in saving, maintaining and using resources efficiently. To realize the building design requires the selection of material resources that are environmentally responsible, because this will give identity to the architectural work. The role of architects in building architecture is always influenced by the surrounding environment in its era. The history of the wooden building architecture development is inseparable from its surrounding environment condition. Reduced natural resources such as sand, gravel and materials for making cement or iron sand and mining prohibitions that damage the environment will encourage the use of wood as a sustainable material. At first the history of the wooden buildings existence only depends on aspects of a building function alone. Now with technological development innovation, the sustainability of wooden building architecture has three elements, namely: function, strength and aesthetics. In the modern definition, architecture must include functional, aesthetic, and psychological considerations. Meanwhile, the development of various innovative products, for example engineered wood is an effort so that the life span of wood-based products will be utilized longer.
