Log timber houses have been a dominant building tradition in Scandinavia with perspective on the past 1000 years. In the last century however this wooden mass wall construction technique and its embedded traditional knowledge has been marginalized, and to a large extent outcompeted by modern insulated framework and concrete construction. A heritage of knowing, building and dwelling has been left behind without advocacy or coherent assessment, for what reason the sustainable qualities of the log timber building is not measured or developed according to the contemporary norms of construction. There are great potentials to re-using traditional knowledge and adapting traditional log timber techniques for future sustainable building.
