Resumen
Descripción
The study presents information about Swedish engineers’ and
architects’ main considerations in material selection. It describes the
material selection process, including perceptions of wood compared to other
materials, the influences of main stakeholders, and how wood construction
relates to professional roles and career prospects. Issues related to
knowledge about wood as a material, the position wood construction has in
the Swedish education and recent developments in wood-based construction
techniques are also highlighted. Finally, we present the needs architects and
engineers have of wood suppliers. Our results are translated in a number of
improvements to increase wood as a construction material in large-scale
construction.
