Abstract
The article presents problems associated with attempts at introducing renewable materials into widespread use in architecture, with a particular focus on timber. The execution of this process could make it possible to reduce the amount of waste that is the result of the functioning of the contemporary economy. The result of these efforts, which are associated with the use of new sustainable systemic solutions in the field of the design of buildings and cities is the use of existing material solutions in the maximum possible manner, one that does not cause the production of waste. Newly designed environmentally friendly habitats will be neutral to extant ecosystems. Buildings erected using timber are environmentally friendly because the production and processing of timber does not generate the amount of carbon dioxide or other pollutants that traditional construction materials like cement or brick do. In addition, the process of erecting these types of buildings is shorter and consumes less energy in comparison to traditional technologies based on ceramic materials or derivatives of concrete. Furthermore, materials obtained during the dismantling of timber buildings, as well as the waste created as a by-product of production processes associated with the processing of timber, can be reused.
