    Content: AUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract: Empty lands and abandoned buildings taken over by nature are very common in our world. Some are unknown to anyone and are somewhere in the wilderness. Most people do not even realize the existence of some of the historic buildings that are abandoned today. There are many abandoned roundhouses in the world that are no longer in use due to the loss of their relevance, which will be discussed later in the thesis. Unfortunately, there is no exact data on the number of abandoned buildings. However, it is worth noting that most of them have not yet been demolished due to the fact that they are the property of cultural heritage. Considering that many roundhouses once had an important purpose are now abandoned, the question arises what can be done to give them a second life and approach the renovation of a railway roundhouse without losing its distinctive character by redesigning it into a community art center as each building has its own unique history, characteristics, and qualities that are different from others. Keywords: empty lands, abandoned buildings, nature takeover, historic buildings, roundhouses, renovation, railway roundhouse, distinctive character, community art center, unique history

    Content: AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: Wood has been valued as a building material for thousands of years due to its workability and protective properties. In the context of sustainable strategies and the increasing importance of environmentally friendly materials, wood is experiencing a renewed surge in the construction industry. However, the construction sector significantly impacts the environment, with large amounts of land being converted into residential and transportation areas daily. The German government aims to limit the use of new land for these purposes by 2030. Additionally, the construction industry generates substantial waste, with material flows exceeding the amount of waste returning from construction, refurbishment, and demolition. This thesis explores the advantages, disadvantages, and potential opportunities associated with wood as a sustainable commodity for modern building methods. It also investigates the potential for reducing emissions in contemporary construction through the use of wood. Germany's high resource consumption, surpassing its natural resources for the year by May, raises concerns about climate change and the need for solutions to ensure a sustainable future for generations to come. By examining the environmental impact and resource efficiency of wood in construction, this research contributes to understanding the potential of wood as a sustainable alternative and its role in mitigating climate change. The findings aim to inform decision-making processes in the construction industry and contribute to the development of sustainable building practices. Keywords: wood, building material, sustainability, construction industry, emissions reduction, resource efficiency, climate change.
