Reinventar la estructura de madera
Concluyeron en Madrid un edificio de viviendas de 20 metros de altura con estructura de madera. Aseguran que este material facilita la construcción, ahorra energía durante la misma, optimiza la superficie útil y multiplica el ahorro energético en el interior de los pisos.
La vieja madera podría ser el material del futuro. Más fácilmente reemplazable (en bosques reforestados con tala controlada) y más ligera que los costosos y pesados acero y hormigón armado, la madera laminada cruzada CLT (Cross Laminated Timber) pegada a 90 grados es, además, más resistente al fuego y más fácil de manipular.

The South American country that changes construction thanks to an ancient, mega-resistant material: more than steel
