Summary:
Aujourd’hui, le bois concerne tous les programmes. Voici donc tous les éléments techniques et réglementaires indispensables aux concepteurs et maîtres d’ouvrage pour construire avec le bois. Une bonne connaissance de la structure du bois, de son comportement, des différentes essences disponibles, des produits dérivés, des lois qui régissent son assemblage et son collage ainsi que des méthodes de protection et d’habillage les plus récentes, constitue un atout décisif pour le développement de l’emploi du bois dans le bâtiment. Avant tout pratique, ce livre illustré consacre d’importants développements aux difficultés propres à la construction en bois et aux précautions de conception et de mise en œuvre dont il faut s’entourer. Un chapitre traite des aspects réglementaires de la construction en bois, notamment de l’eurocode, de la résistance au feu et de la nouvelle réglementation acoustique.

Summary:
"Green Architecture" is true to its title: Wines presents many examples of environmentally responsible projects with a critical analysis of their salient features. It's also nothing less than an indictment of today's practice of architecture, in which the focus on short-term profits trumps consideration of ecology as motivation for design.

Summary:
The attention Swiss architecture has received in recent years has mainly focused on a small number of architects whose work has appeared on the covers of the specialized press. Extending throughout the Modern Movement, this is an architecture with its roots in a rich building tradition. In Graubünden, under the attentive gaze of maestro Peter Zumthor, a group of young architects educated at the ETH in Zurich, many of whom are former assistants in Zumthor's studio, demonstrate the extraordinary quality of the architectonic production of this small German-speaking region of Switzerland. These increasingly well-known names present a wide range of projects ranging from single-family houses to apartment blocks, schools, and public and commercial buildings of different sorts, yet with similarities in the way they handle materials and settings, a body of work that transcends the borders of the region and attracts the attention of the international architecture world. The introduction by Daniel Bosshard, Miguel Kreisler, Myriam Sterling and Txell Vaquer places the building tradition of Graubünden in its historical context. The Nexus section features a 1913 text by Adolf Loos called "Rules for Those Building in the Mountains", plus Bruno Reichlin's "When Moderns Architects Build in the Mountains" and an extract from Christoph Schaub's video "The Vrin Project".
