Integrating wooden cladding effectively into modern architectural design remains a challenge, despite the historical and cultural importance of wood in traditional building practices. This research examines the methods and strategies for successfully integrating wooden cladding elements within contemporary buildings to enhance the quality of the Interior environment.
The study begins by reviewing the significance of wooden cladding in architecture, the evolution of natural and manufactured wood cladding techniques, and their functional and aesthetic roles in traditional architecture across diverse cultural contexts. It then identifies the performance requirements for integrating wooden cladding in modern architectural design, including thermal and acoustic properties, and principles of sustainable design.
Through an in-depth study of natural and manufactured wood cladding types, the research extracts key lessons, including the appropriate selection of timber species and cladding systems, the integration of wooden elements within the overall architectural composition, and the enhancement of indoor environmental standards such as thermal comfort, air quality, and daylight.
The findings of this study provide a comprehensive framework for designers to successfully integrate wooden cladding with contemporary architecture, thereby enhancing the indoor environmental quality and overall sustainability of buildings. The research offers valuable insights and design guidelines that can benefit both academic discourse and professional practice in this field.
