This comprehensive architectural reference documents the remarkable resurgence of wood as a primary building material in contemporary design. Featuring 100 carefully selected projects from around the globe, this trilingual edition (German, French, English) provides an in-depth examination of how timber has reclaimed its position at the forefront of innovative architecture.
The collection spans diverse geographical locations, from China to Chile and numerous countries in between. Each project demonstrates unique approaches to working with wood, showcasing how architects worldwide have embraced this elemental material for everything from luxury hot spring structures to cutting-edge urban renewal schemes. The international scope provides valuable insight into regional variations and universal principles in contemporary wood construction.
Travel the world to investigate one of the greatest renaissances in architecture: wood. How has this elemental material come to steal the show at luxury hot spring structures and cutting-edge urban renewal schemes? With 100 projects from China, Chile, and everywhere in between, this global survey explores the technical, environmental, and sensory elements that have inspired a return to timber.
The book examines the engineering innovations that have made large-scale timber construction viable, including advances in laminated wood products, structural systems, and fire-resistant treatments. Environmental considerations receive thorough attention, addressing sustainability, carbon sequestration, and the renewable nature of wood as a building resource.
Beyond technical specifications, this volume explores the sensory qualities that make wood architecturally compelling. The natural warmth, texture, and visual character of timber create distinctive spatial experiences that differ fundamentally from concrete, steel, or glass structures. Each featured project demonstrates how architects leverage these inherent qualities to create memorable buildings.
Published in German, French, and English, this edition serves an international audience of architects, designers, students, and architecture enthusiasts. The multilingual format reflects the global nature of the contemporary wood building movement and ensures accessibility across different professional communities.
This architectural survey serves as both a practical reference for design professionals and an educational resource for understanding current trends in sustainable construction. The breadth of projects offers comparative analysis opportunities, while the detailed documentation provides inspiration for future timber-based designs.
