Ce nouveau volume de "Construire en bois" propose une mise à jour complète, remaniée et augmentée des précédents volumes ("Construire en bois", "Construire en bois 2"), et se pose comme nouvel ouvrage de référence de la construction en bois pour les architectes et les ingénieurs. Les avantages de la construction en bois demeurent sous-estimés de nos jours. Peu de procédés subissent autant de préjugés négatifs et infondés de la part des maîtres d'ouvrage, des assureurs et des planificateurs. Mais les avantages offerts part ce matériaux sont nombreux, tant d'un point de vue technologique qu'économique ou écologique. Fruit de l'expérience de deux ingénieurs et trois architectes, "Construire en bois" privilégie cette double approche dans le but d'améliorer sans cesse la conception des ouvrages en bois. Riche de centaines de photos noir et blanc et couleurs ainsi que de milliers de dessins au trait, il présente une vaste gamme de formes, de moyens et de techniques d'assemblage, de conceptions d'appui et de systèmes porteurs, et rassemble ainsi en un seul manuel toutes les informations relatives aux propriétés du matériau bois et ses possibilités d'utilisation dans le domaine de la construction. Illustré de plus de 3000 dessins et 700 photographies au travers de près de 200 exemples, imprimé en quadrichromie, cet ouvrage offre un panorama complet des dernières technologies à la base des grandes constructions en bois du monde actuel.

Summary:
Industrialization and population growth have brought about a global water crisis. Nature can no longer compensate the exploitation of our freshwater and our oceans. One billion people have no reliable access to clean drinking water; two billion live in precarious hygienic conditions. Famine, poverty, epidemics, and infant mortality are closely linked with the water crisis. Social, ecological, political, and economic conflicts obstruct efforts to resolve the global water crisis. Water is an instrument of power. The key question reads: Is water a commodity or is free access to water an inalienable human right? By approaching water from a phenomenological perspective, Who owns the Water? seeks to persuade the reader that an element that is constantly flowing and changing defies all claims to own it, be they political or economic, and is instead the responsibility of the entire international community.

Summary:
Ecological and artistic approaches to designing our environment raise important questions which have to be faced by all designers of urban spaces, gardens or landscape: whether to conserve or to intervene, to rely on natural order or apply man-made means and whether to lend nature a romantic or a technocratic appearance. Which approaches to design and artistic concepts are able to unite these seemingly contradictory poles to create sophisticated projects in harmony with nature? In this publication landscape architects, artists, philosophers, social scientists and natural scientists provide answers to these central questions in landscape design and environmental art. Amongst the 17 authors are Jacques Leenhardt (F), Massimo Venturi Ferriolo (I), Udo Weilacher (D), Malcom Miles (GB), Tim Collins (USA) and Jochen Boberg from the MD Berlin with whom this book is co-produced. This volume contains works by more than 50 international artists and landscape architects, among them the internationally renowned Herman Prigann, one of the most active landscape artists. His work is extensively presented here for the first time, and represents four decades of continuing commitment to artistic and ecologically oriented landscape design.

In this new title from log building expert Robbin Obomsawin, the rich Arts & Crafts heritage of the late 1800s that rebelled against mass-produced goods and the opulence of the Victorian era melds beautifully with the ideals of log home design and cabin living, where a simple life and appreciation for fine craftsmanship are held in the highest esteem. This new hybrid style incorporates the exquisite workmanship and sophistication that have become hallmarks of Arts & Crafts design with the warmth and comfort of log elements to create homes inspired by nature, creativity, and simple beauty. With one of the industry's premier photographers, Roger Wade, and the log industry's most prolific and respected author, Robbin Obomsawin, "The Arts & Crafts Cabin" uses spectacular colour photography, floor plans, and compelling historical text to showcase how the principles and philosophy of William Morris, Gustav Stickley, and Charles and Henry Greene combine with modern artistry to create some of the most exciting residential and recreational architecture being created today.
