Summary:
"Small Strawbale" is a meditative exploration of the innumerable reasons to consider strawbale as a viable building material. Environmentally friendly, super insulative, economical, and natural, strawbale can be used to build everything from garden walls to small homes. "Small Strawbale" tells the stories of people who have successfully created structures out of this easily replenishable building material, reminding us that our human roots are ultimately grounded and dependent upon the earth and its bounties. This practical guide is filled with rich photos of homes, greenhouses, studios, sheds, open-air structures and more, each pulsating with unique yet subtle creativity. Both a pragmatic construction manual and a philosophical, artistic guidebook, "Small Strawbale" is an inspirational starting point for a strawbale dreamer, and a great source of information for those who are ready to get bailing.

Summary:
A detailed and timely look at the resourceful ways wood is being used in some of the world’s most innovative new buildings. Despite its legacy as a traditional building material, timber is experiencing a renaissance as contemporary architects and designers increasingly come to appreciate its sustainability, versatility, and beauty. Lavishly illustrated with over 300 photographs and drawings, "New Wood Architecture" features over 40 contemporary projects from around the world by leading architects including Shigeru Ban, Roberto Briccola, Santiago Calatrava, Steven Holl, Herzog + Partner, Herzog and de Meuron, Peter Hübner, Renzo Piano Building Workshop, and Peter Zumthor. Ruth Slavid examines the innovative ways timber is currently being handled and how its use has been expanded by new technologies and experiments with traditional building methods. Featured topics include wood’s natural properties in rural landscapes; its heritage as a vernacular building material; its pragmatic and cost-efficient properties; its versatility; current technological innovations such as the uses of engineered products, laminates, plywoods, and chipboards; the ways wood can be combined with other materials to enhance its structural properties; and its use as a recycled or “green” material in some of the most beautiful and experimental plans being constructed today.

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.

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.
