Abstract
The article presents a range of the possibilities of using glued laminated timber structures for modern and further applications. Are the prospects for this structural material related to its design features and to the extension of the span, or on the contrary, despite the fact that it is a material with excellent design features, its greatest advantage is its natural origin, which is in line with the global design trends of sustainable development. The article distinguishes the principles of shaping contemporary forms and structural systems against the background of issues related to sustainable design and the process of manufacturing large-size wooden elements. Visible trends on the one hand, the use of plastic properties of wood (large spans) and strength (multi-story buildings). The article seeks answers to the questions to what extent wooden construction is justified and attractive, what are the current possibilities of wooden construction and they are used, and what are the prospects for its development for shaping innovative forms of con-temporary architecture.
