OVERVIEW OF MODERN WOODEN HOUSING CONSTRUCTION IN RUSSIA

Wooden house building has centuries-old traditions, to which Russia has made a significant contribution. Historically, our country is rich in forests, hence the quite natural choice of wood as the main material for housing construction. Everyone knows the methods of building wooden houses by Russian architects of the early Middle Ages “with one ax and without a single nail.” Well, of course, we must understand here that there was more than one ax, there were auxiliary manual wood-cutting tools. Well, without nails – it does not mean at all that the connecting elements were not used, they just were also wooden. Some of these monuments of wooden architecture have survived to this day and we can observe them, for example, in Kizhi, Vologda, Arkhangelsk and many other cities.
