The WoodStock project will create the WoodBook, an open-source digital catalogue that offers practical and eco-friendly solutions for architects, designers, and construction professionals. The WoodBook is being developed in collaboration with the project partners Technical University of Łódź, Ghent University, Aalto University, NTNU, Technical University of Delft, and InnoRenew CoE, and is set to launch by June 2026.
WoodBook will include various building element and construction nodes, for various architectural typologies:
- new buildings
- renovation and adaptive reuse of existing structures
- regeneration of degraded city areas and neighbourhoods
Key features of WoodBook
- zero-waste solutions: ready-to-implement designs encourage the reuse of wooden materials and align with zero-waste principles
- BIM integration: digital Building Information Modelling (BIM) elements complete with data such as strength, insulation properties, and energy performance
- collaborative design: blueprints, that have been co-created with students and construction stakeholders across five partner countries
- comprehensive content: technical drawings, detailed documentation, and analyses of energy performance, acoustics, and fire safety
- climate-adaptive tools: resources to optimise thermal performance and resource efficiency in wooden structures
Advancing sustainable construction
WoodBook aims to drive sustainable design practices by equipping professionals with easy-to-use tools, making eco-friendly construction methods more accessible. It will promote the reuse of wooden structures and innovative building approaches using reclaimed wood.
