Wood is a construction and building material that is increasingly used in architecture and design, mainly due to three factors: its sustainability, as it requires less energy than other materials for its production and processing, and as it is formed by the direct capture of CO2; its industrialisation, as it is traditionally processed raw in factories and workshops and then transported to the building site, where it is assembled quickly and improves efficiency and construction times; and the digitalisation of architecture and the possibilities offered by new 3D graphic design tools, which facilitate prefabrication and allow a degree of detail that reduces errors and uncertainties during construction.
These same factors have led Amusement Logic to integrate wood into the design and calculation of structures for the themed, tourism and leisure projects in which it is involved, thanks to a qualified technical team. Moreover, wood is an extraordinarily versatile construction material, which allows us to apply it to a wide range of projects and buildings: residential, sports centres, climbing walls, water and theme parks, both indoor and outdoor, hotels and resorts, shopping centres, campsites, etc. And not only as a structural element, but also for decorative and beautification purposes.
