A Statistics-Based Study on Wood Presentation of Modern Wood Building Facades

Abstract

Wood presentation of modern wood building facades relating to the expression of the essential characteristics of architecture, utilization efficiency of wood and acceptance of architectural image,etc. However, relevant studies are obviously insufficient. This paper makes a statistical analysis of outstanding wood structure space cases which be selected, tries to reveal the expression rule of major timber application variables of wood coverage, materials collocation, wood form and wood color under the limitation of the main influencing factors of building function, building form and building scale.The purpose of this study is to explore the wood presentation rule of modern wood building Facades under the influence of building factors.

Colloidal silver as innovative multifunctional pigment: The effect of Ag concentration on the durability and biocidal activity of wood paints

“…The most practical way, which provides the best guarantees, is represented by the production of surfaces that intrinsically possess antimicrobial features [63][64][65], capable of killing or repelling the bacteria [66]. Inevitably, this approach involves also the woodbased products, due to their widespread use in public spaces [67,68]. Wood coatings can offer antibacterial performance by incorporating nanomaterials such as copper nanopowders [69],…”

Effect of Indoor Wall Wood Coverage on the Elderly Group—A Case Study of Activity Rooms in Old-Age Buildings

“…Previous research has demonstrated that a sample size of 30 individuals is sufficient to yield statistically significant results in experimental investigations involving psychological and physiological monitoring of the population [68][69][70]. This sample size has also been found suitable for psychological assessments pertaining to wood evaluation [49,55], physiological monitoring experiments [71], and experimental studies for the elderly population [72,73]. The participants possessed satisfactory visual acuity and cognitive abilities, exhibited a willingness to cooperate with laboratory protocols, and reported no physical discomfort on the day of testing.…”

“…In terms of wood color, a low-brightness wood shade, which is favored by older people, was utilized. Regarding the layout, Xu's research shows that the difference in the wood layout does not significantly affect human perception [55]. However, considering the subjects' empirical judgments of wood layouts in indoor environments, the use of randomly arranged wood layouts would raise concerns about the authenticity of the setting, consequently influencing the experimental outcomes.…”

Effect of the degree of wood use on the visual psychological response of wooden indoor spaces

“…This is especially true in countries like Canada, Finland, China, Sweden, and USA . Additionally, studies showed that using wood in buildings could create warm and relaxing living environment with distinct visual effects (Burnard et al, 2017;Rice et al, 2007;Sakuragawa, 2006), and wood used in buildings may enhance dialogues between modern technology and traditional-regional practices (O'Connor et al, 2004;Xu et al, 2018). Therefore, wood is critical when it comes to expressing essential characteristics of architectural space and promoting a natural, warm, and healthy indoor living experience.…”
