It grows back and absorbs large quantities of carbon dioxide. But where does it actually come from, and how will we make forestry and wood processing fit for the future? In what ways are conventional notions of professions and qualifications in architecture, engineering, and construction tested by using wood as a building material? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e French journalist Mich�le Leloup together with architect Fran�ois Leclercq--a pioneer of timber construction in France--have for a long time explored the ecological, economic, industrial, and technical challenges of using timber for major structures and urban architecture.
