The diversity of timber in Alvar Aalto's architecture: forests, shelter and safety

Reading 16 (Week 30)
The diversity of timber in Alvar Aaltos architecture.

Alto discusses using organic materials, stone and timber, these materials that have been around for thousands of years creating spaces far more comfortable than anything made of manmade materials, steel or glass. There was a 15% increase in architectural structures using timber by the 1950s as many architects followed his tradition. People always feared the health and safety that the building may watch fire due to the materials used.

I found this article gave me a better understanding to the creative side of using wood within designs rather than being technical which I will use within my upcoming projects.
