Summary:
Le log cabin, ou cabane de rondins, originaire d'Amérique du Nord, est sans doute, du fait de sa simplicité et sa flexibilité, une des constructions les plus largement reproduites dans le monde entier. Mais le principal intérêt de cette construction, faite à partir de l'empilage et de l'assemblage de troncs d'arbres, est sa relation étroite avec la création de la culture étatsunienne. La première partie, qui consiste en un voyage aux origines de la cabane en suivant les premiers colonisateurs européens dans leur aventure à travers le territoire américain, analyse de façon claire et précise la forme, les matériaux et le processus constructif de cette typologie architecturale. La seconde partie présente une sélection de projets récents, conçus par des architectes et des designers du monde entier, qui montrent les différentes interprétations faites de cet élément emblématique de la culture américaine et son formidable potentiel à contribuer à la création d'ouvrages contemporains. Alejandro Bahamon est architecte, photographe et éditeur d'ouvrages sur l'architecture. Il est l'auteur de nombreuses publications sur l'architecture contemporaine, diffusées par différentes maisons d'édition dans le monde entier. Anna Vicens Soler a obtenu une licence en Sciences Humaines à l'Université Pompeu Fabra et possède un master en Edition Littéraire de l'Université Autonome de Barcelone.

The subsequent development of laminated timber and new joinery techniques made wood a viable alternative to steel and concrete, and led to a number of awe-inspiring structures that captured, and continue to capture, the public imagination. One center of imaginative timber construction has been Switzerland, whose engineers, architects, and carpenters have provided fundamental knowledge and inspiration for builders in wood around the world. Developments in Timber Construction focuses not only on the best timber structures in Switzerland, but also on numerous international projects built by Swiss architects and engineers.

Summary:
Wood has a centuries-long tradition as well as a huge potential for future use as a highly versatile building material. ''Crafting wood'' presents newly gained knowledge on timber construction and on timber joints in particular. This book—illustrated with plans, sketches, and photographs—emerged from an international educational cooperation of the University of Liechtenstein in Vaduz, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU in Trondheim, and the Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam. The program looked at a vast range of timber joints from different theoretical and practical perspectives. Students conceived and made by hand new joints that were then applied in prototypes for entire structures, also designed as part of the course, at a scale of 1:5. By analyzing this learning process, the book provides a new overview of the topic of timber joints in architecture through text and images.

The worldwide booming timber construction sector and its rapid development beyond the limits of high-rise buildings demands high-performance materials, which are made possible by hardwood. Innovative production methods and manufacturing processes create economically competitive products that open up completely new possibilities for the construction sector - thanks to an almost forgotten building material. For it was not without reason that construction sector used predominantly hardwood until the 18th century. “Building with hardwood” focuses on its use in the supporting structure. The publication provides specialist knowledge for the safe handling of hardwood in building construction and shows successful examples of architecture from practice for practice.

Summary:
Thanks to high-performance composite structures made of wood and steel or concrete, wooden buildings are now being erected far beyond the high-rise boundaries. An end to the increase in altitude is hardly in sight. Wooden constructions are also on the uptrend in residential and office construction, sports halls, industrial buildings and bridges. They are the epitome of sustainable building and, thanks to new prefabrication processes, are also competitive in terms of construction costs. The book shows the current development of structural planning with wood on the basis of around 20 outstanding engineering structures. The engineers involved in the planning describe the conception of the supporting structures as well as individual solutions for their implementation. Technical articles from research and technology round out the book.

Puutalo Oy (Timber Houses Ltd.) was established in 1940 as part of Finland’s response to the war refugee crisis. The company quickly became one of the largest manufacturers of prefabricated wooden buildings – tens of thousands were shipped from Finland to every inhabited continent, constructing a largely overlooked legacy of housing and urbanisation. A new perspective on this legacy is given through careful analysis of these buildings and projects as they emerged from a rapidly changing political landscape.
