Summary:
Wood holds unique and timely lessons for urbanization, yet it remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. From under-considered thermal properties to emerging manufacturing possibilities, from changing forestry regimes to larger carbon cycle dynamics, "Wood Urbanism" explores the unique material and scalar properties of wood, presenting it as a critical material for design today. It brings into conversation scholars and practitioners who focus on wood from a range of perspectives: from the working forest to the mid-rise building to the basic cell. Drawing from the inherent intelligence and depth of multiple disciplines, this book offers a transcalar perspective on the role of wood in contemporary urbanization: from the imperceptibly small to the confoundingly large.

Wood is suitable for use in multistorey building construction with barely any restrictions. This is new and requires creative rethinking of tried and tested practices in wood construction: classical categories can be replaced by mixed construction methods as necessary within a project, which yields completely new possibilities in designing wood structures. The Manual provides architects, engineers and wood specialists with the essential expertise on the new systematics and construction methodology, from the design to prefabrication to the implementation on site. It lays the grounds for mutual understanding among everyone involved in the project, to facilitate the necessary cooperation in the integral planning and construction process.

Summary:
Cet ouvrage retrace la genèse de la nouvelle salle de présentation du Théâtre de Vidy, projet emblématique issu des recherches menées au Laboratoire de construction bois (ibois) de l’école polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). La technologie choisie – une structure plissée à double nappe réalisée en panneaux multi-plis – est sans précédent: les panneaux incluent les tenons et mortaises dans leur découpe pour permettre un assemblage sans usage de colle ou de connecteurs métalliques. Cette innovation rend possible la transmission des efforts mécaniques et le pré-positionnement de chaque panneau dans l’espace, ainsi que le démontage facile et durable de la construction. Vincent Baudriller, directeur du théâtre de Vidy, expose le contexte et les enjeux de ce pavillon. Matthieu Jaccard, historien, décrit son élaboration, en la replaçant dans son contexte historique. Yves Weinand, architecte, résume la définition de cette architecture et décrit, avec Christophe Robeller et Julien Gamerro, chercheurs à l’ibois, le processus de fabrication. Le pavillon a servi d’exemple aux étudiants en architecture de l’EPFL pour imaginer une structure portante. Leurs travaux sont présentés et commentés dans la dernière partie du livre.

Ce récit d’apprentissage plein d’humilité entremêle souvenirs de chantiers et réflexions sur le corps, le savoir et le travail aujourd’hui. Avec une langue limpide et élégante, l’auteur montre comment la pratique de cet artisanat lui a donné des clés précieuses pour s’orienter dans une époque frénétique. Parce qu’apporter du soin à son travail, c’est déjà donner du sens à son action ; qu’apprendre et transmettre des savoirs anciens, c’est préserver un bien commun ; et que bien bâtir, c’est s’inscrire dans le temps long : la charpente est une éthique pour notre modernité.

Summary:
Wood is nature's greatest resource, embedded in the history, culture and life of humans worldwide. And it is ingenious as building material: remarkably malleable and at the same time resilient, recyclable in many ways and reducing greenhouse gases, universally applicable and locally available, renewable and beautiful. Today, new processing technologies extend the spectrum of its possible applications and the combinability with other building materials, enabling new amazing technical and design solutions. In short, almost anything - structurally - can be done with it. Whatever architects and interior designers think of can be realized with wood: from energy-efficient houses via multi-story academic facilities to the interiors of fashionable bars. The traditional building material has become ultra-contemporary and increasingly cutting-edge, offering extraordinarily exciting possibilities for architectural design.
