By Decio Gonçalves

The responsibility with the best use of timber material in Brazil and in the world has required a very specific approach in order to provide insightful conditions that favor its processing and its industrial employment in a sustainable manner. In Brazil, the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources - IBAMA is the defining and regulatory body of this activity for rational conservation, including with regard to the issue of registration of preserving timber products. The Timber Tree-Shaped Structural System - ARROW, object of a of Doctoral Thesis research in the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism from S o Paulo University (FAUUSP) is the starting point of this work and the leitmotiv of this book, which is being developed, at the time, in Wood and Structural Timber Laboratory - LaMEM/SET/EESC/USP. From the ARROW several case studies were developed in roundwood profiled, with the most varied functional programs, among them are: single and multifamily housings, research centers, educational centers, cultural units, shelter (stop) bus, trough for cattle, among others.
