Summary:
Architecture involving and consisting of bamboo as a building material has developed into one of the most fascinating and dynamic areas of global building culture. The giant grass is found on all continents and, as the fastest-growing plant species, is in basically infinite supply. The unique material properties combining extreme hardness with low weight, strong compressive and tensile strength, and elasticity significantly contribute to this trend. ''Bend & build'' shows the versatility of this eco-hero of architecture and interior design, whose applications have become significantly wider and more diversified This collection includes some of the finest, most creative, and cutting-edge bamboo projects of recent years. The range extends from traditional building styles and their modern interpretation to the innovative combination of bamboo with other materials.

Summary:
Wood is without a doubt en-vogue with its impressive natural qualities. The residences presented in this volume are vivid manifestations of Frank Lloyd Wright's statements that wood is "universally beautiful to man" and "the most humanly intimate of all materials." The selected contemporary projects from around the world demonstrate the sheer endless possibilities for the use of timber in architecture and interior design. The shown architectural solutions emphasize the unparalleled advantages of this renewable building material, both in terms of design and function. Furthermore, they highlight the amazing versatility of wood, with a special focus on a large number of recently developed new techniques, processing options, and innovations. Above all, wooden architecture is a promising opportunity for architects to work towards a more CO2-neutral future.

Célébrant les savoirs et savoir-faire de l'Occident comme de l'Orient, l'ouvrage révèle, grâce à un corpus varié, la multiplicité des techniques du bois. Il montre aussi comment les architectures se nourrissent de cette matière ligneuse pour abriter les hommes, leurs rêves, leurs dieux, les faire exister et coexister avec joie. Et parce que le bois accompagne les hommes sur de nombreux chemins, le livre parle de lieux de culte remplis de foi et de hangars païens remplis de foin. Les architectes, les ingénieurs, les maîtres d'ouvrage, les enseignants, les étudiants et tous les passionnés d'architecture et de construction en bois y trouveront matière à réflexion en découvrant des bâtiments, des manières de porter, de tenir et de couvrir, mais aussi d'habiter, d'émouvoir et de symboliser.

Summary:
Building with wood as an ecologically viable material is a tradition with a long history. The timber architecture, which has ensued over the past centuries, reveals to the modern observer the depth of knowledge which has enabled both Eastern und Western cultures to use this material in such a creative way. In the most typical method of building with wood, elements are connected by using wood joints which do not require the assistance of adhesives or metal connectors. This art of wood jointing reached its zenith in Japan; but Europe too provided its share of highly influential forms. By looking at several hundred examples from Japan and 18 European countries, with a new chapter on China added to this enlarged edition, this book de-scribes in detail the history of timber architecture in terms of its technical, aesthetic and ecological dimensions.
