- Abstract
The use of wood as a construction material is experiencing a resurgence due to the growing trend in sustainable architecture. Its unique selling point lies in its combination of mechanical, thermal, and aesthetic properties, as well as its easy workability and the ability to create precise, intricate wooden prefabricated elements. The prefabrication method results in a faster construction process and instant load-bearing capacity. Additionally, the eco-friendliness of wood, as a renewable resource with minimal toxic substances, is becoming increasingly important. Additionally, the eco-friendliness of modern building materials made of wood, as a renewable resource with minimal toxic substances, is becoming increasingly important. The article discusses the current regulatory restrictions for high-rise wooden housing construction in Slovakia. The very valuable experience of using modern high-rise buildings made of wood in other countries and how these projects were carried out are considered. The article also reflects further prospects for the use of modern wood materials in the Slovak Republic and what can contribute to this trend.
