Wood is one of the oldest building materials used in construction. Various advantages such as being a natural material, being easily available, able to withstand tensile stresses, and having a high carrying capacity compared to its weight put it in a different place from its alternatives. With these features, wood had an important place in the building culture until the industrial revolution. Although the developments in reinforced concrete and steel constructions have caused the loss of popularity of wood, it has come to the fore again due to the development of industrial wood products and the desire to build environmentally friendly structures in building design approaches. In this study, the historical development of wooden structures is examined in order to understand the present and future place of wood. By emphasizing the diversity in wooden construction systems, the place of wood in codes and standards has been examined. Various suggestions and evaluations have been made for the future of wooden structures and modern design principles.
