Take in wood!

The security risk led us to ban it. New knowledge, updated building regulations let us welcome it back. This is the story of how Swedish wooden house construction after more than 100 years is becoming a vital part of our forest industry again. The wooden house industry feels more important than ever, just as the knowledge of manual wood craftsmanship is increasingly in demand in connection with the renewal of wooden construction.

With historian Peter Danielsson, Richard Edlund building antiquarian and Maja Heuer, project manager for Unique Historic Kalmar. Recording and editing by Andreas Juhl, Kalmar County Museum.
