Wood is one of the basic natural renewable materials. Knowledge of its basic properties is the first prerequisite for its proper use in various industries and in human life. Wood is the most versatile and most used material (industry, construction, agriculture, everyday life). Due to its natural character, natural drawing, favorable physical properties, it is an increasingly desirable element of the environment. In the world, but also in our country, the trend of wooden buildings is becoming more and more widespread, not only in the understanding of cottages, wooden houses and family houses using wooden elements. We are talking about office buildings, non-residential premises, but also wooden high-rise buildings. Multi-storey wooden structures are a promising area of application of wood, which requires much less energy for their production compared to other "classic" materials. The aim of this paper is to present selected aspects of multi-storey wood-based buildings and their application at present.
