    2 Introduction On Timber Construction in Italy 2021

    The document summarizes the evolution of timber construction in Italy. Until 2000, timber was mainly used for refurbishing historical structures and single-story buildings. After 2000, its use expanded to multi-story buildings and large structures. New materials like cross-laminated timber increased possibilities. While timber was once limited to structures under 10 stories, the future may include taller "hybrid" designs that combine timber and concrete/steel. However, issues around connectors, seismic/fire codes, and vibrations must still be addressed for structures over 10 stories.
