Summary:
Wood is organic, it is regarded as warm, as making human surroundings cosy. In addition, it can compete with any hi-tech material: wood has an extraordinarily good weight-to-strength ratio, has outstanding acoustic and insulation properties, and when properly deployed and looked after, it is also durable. Timber buildings have always achieved low-energy standards, they(...)

Summary:
Wood is organic, it is regarded as warm, as making human surroundings cosy. In addition, it can compete with any hi-tech material: wood has an extraordinarily good weight-to-strength ratio, has outstanding acoustic and insulation properties, and when properly deployed and looked after, it is also durable. Timber buildings have always achieved low-energy standards, they are climate-neutral to erect, and environmentally friendly to demolish. Those who recognize and exploit the natural qualities of wood have a wonderfully versatile material which can be brought to life in the hands of a creative designer and builder. With the help of more than 300 illustrations and architectural drawings, this book presents 25 proprojects from all over the world which exemplify a whole variety of forms and applications of wood both for interiors and exteriors.

Summary:
Timber construction has become completely modernized. It has gained considerably in market share with respect to competing building materials and is dominated by systems such as frame and solid timber construction. Every timber construction is determined by its structure. Hence it is essential to know the connections and relationships from the design stage right through to the construction phase. Systems in Timber Engineering takes a whole new approach to this subject. It is a comprehensive, analytical, and visually organized treatment, from the simple single-family house to the large-scale multistore structure. It includes the building envelope, which is so important for saving energy, and systems for ceilings and interior dividing walls, which are so essential from the vantage point of construction. This work uses plans, schematic drawings, and pictures to show the current and forward-looking state of the technology as applied in Switzerland, a leading country in the field of timber construction.

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.
