Il Sole 24 Ore has published an in-depth article by Maria Chiara Voci in its Real Estate 24 – Investments and Sustainability section, presenting the Timber Forward Italia project, coordinated by Green Building Council Italia, with the Research Department of Stefano Boeri Architetti contributing as authors of the project’s guidelines.
The project, funded by the Build by Nature network, supported by the Laudes Foundation, and coordinated by Green Building Council Italia, was officially presented on February 13 at MIND – Milano Innovation District. It has activated a strategic network involving key stakeholders in the timber construction sector, with the aim of accelerating the adoption of wood and bio-based materials.
The article summarizes the key figures and objectives of the project, which led to the development of a preliminary version of a database featuring 60 timber-based projects, providing a representative topography of the Italian timber construction sector.
Through the production of three reports, the initiative has provided concrete tools to guide the industry in choosing wood as a construction material, outlining sustainable processes and best practices.
By fostering collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and mutual support among industry players, the initiative aims to drive change in the sector, promoting innovative and sustainable practices to support decarbonization goals.
