Abstract
The article analyzes a wood architecture project as a sustainable solution for the construction of industrialized social housing buildings in Chile. It highlights the importance of early integration of architectural and engineering teams. The project, a 4-story light wood frame building, underscores the need for standardization and precision in manufacturing to avoid transportation and assembly issues. A design divided into four phases is proposed: conceptualization, schematic design, architectural design, and manufacturing adjustments. Each phase involves collaboration among various professionals to optimize design and construction. The case study analysis presents early integration and standardization as essential factors to improve quality, efficiency, and reduce costs in the construction of wooden buildings, proposing them as a viable and sustainable option in the Chilean urban context.
