[…] The 20th century saw a drastic decrease in the use of wood for architecture. At the beginning of the century, derelict old wooden houses were replaced by stone cities in Stockholm and around the country. As the welfare state grew around the mid part of the century, focus turned to rational, industrial construction in concrete, steel and glass – although wood construction was still mainly used for single-family homes and summer houses. […] After this hiatus during the 20th century, the forest still stands, like a growing resource for a more sustainable future. However, we must use it wisely” - explore here the current issue of Form.
