Summary:
In response to climate change, architects have been seeking a contemporary expression for durable, solid and homogeneous wall structures made of clay, wood, brick, concrete and recycled materials. This book follows 25 projects to analyze construction methods that predominantly involve materials that have a single origin and can be easily dismantled. It looks at a variety of different ways and scales in which architects have dealt with issues of mass and materiality, both in terms of design and construction. Structured according to the specific materials, the book allows direct comparisons, and renders visible solid building typologies and forms. Numerous drawings, developed especially for this book, document the projects. Two essays as well as interviews with Pepe Marquez and Arno Richter examine the strategies and background of monolithic architecture and solid construction methods.

Summary:
Autour de nous, des objets en bois. Futiles. Précieux. De quels arbres ont-ils la fibre, de quelles forêts sont-ils l'essence ? Forêts jardinées ou plantations monospécifiques ? Des cagettes en peuplier, des palettes en pin maritime, des traverses en chêne, du lamellé-collé en hêtre. Des bouchons en liège, des contrebasses, des barriques, du bois-énergie et du carton(...)

Summary:
Autour de nous, des objets en bois. Futiles. Précieux. De quels arbres ont-ils la fibre, de quelles forêts sont-ils l'essence ? Forêts jardinées ou plantations monospécifiques ? Des cagettes en peuplier, des palettes en pin maritime, des traverses en chêne, du lamellé-collé en hêtre. Des bouchons en liège, des contrebasses, des barriques, du bois-énergie et du carton ondulé. Ce récit sensible trace son chemin par-delà les procédés industriels et les pratiques de la sylviculture en interrogeant notre rapport intime à l'arbre et à nos espaces forestiers. De la région du Grand-Est aux Landes de Gascogne en passant par la forêt de Bercé, le Morvan et la Sologne, nous parcourons des massifs dont les essences, arrivées là nullement par hasard, servent à l'industrie du bois. Ici, des savoir-faire vertueux s'opposent à des logiques du tout-jetable. Cet essai libre et multiforme, à la fois érudit, poétique et illustré - agrémenté de cartes géographiques réelles ou imaginaires, de croquis aquarellés et de photographies de compositions végétales -, nous invite à nous saisir d'un matériau modeste et populaire, à voir en lui l'arbre qu'il a été, et puis à faire un peu de science, un peu d'histoire, pas mal d'écologie et quelques pas de côté.

Translated from the Spanish book, La Materia Intangible, this edition explains why light is so fundamental to human perception, how its nature and use are influenced by time and place, and how it has come to be used as a tool for abstract architectural design.
