Yet, the survival of wooden architectural heritage is under threat, as are the traditional knowledge systems, technologies and ways of life associated with it. A shift to engineered building materials, mechanized and large-scale construction, as well as deforestation and other complex socio-economic events over the past century has meant many traditions have been lost and many traditional buildings are endangered. There is therefore an urgent need to record endangered wooden architectural heritage before much of it disappears.
