Timber Architecture

The book presents Slovenia’s contemporary timber architecture. Thanks to its abundant forests, Slovenia has preserved the tradition of wood construction. As much as 60% of its surface is covered by forests. Slovenia is also the third most forested country in Europe. The high share of forest-covered surface allows for a sustainable production of high-quality wood.

This guide introduces and describes the open timber construction system. In addition it also lists those building regulations that affect the design and construction of timber buildings and presents some model structures that comply with these regulations.
