Résumé en anglais

2011 year is declared an International year of Wood. The report «culture of wood» touches upon the issues of a large context: worldwide wood symbolic, its protection, forest fires, rational use, the wooden building etc. Various solutions and diametrically opposite attitudes of architects towards the wooden architecture monuments are presented – from its restoration, - in case of open air museums or `in situ`, as in case of accurate copying of historical monuments in new sites – and to the kitsch-like use of the image and details of famous monuments («à la russe»). The refusal to resort to traditions and at the same time the new non-trivial and modern approaches to the wooden buildings construction, its structures, designand décor are also subjects of interest and research. However the approaches of those architects involved both in traditional and modern building technologies deserve a special attention. Such examples become essential for the experts in the course of discussion and finding solutions of use of wood in a modern architecture and methods of conservation and development of urban and rural wooden build-up areas in Russia and other countries.
