Summary:
Si les maisons en bois ne représentent encore qu’une minorité des constructions dans le domaine de l’habitat individuel, le renouveau de l’architecture en bois, amorcé depuis les années 1990, est aujourd’hui très sensible. L’utilisation de nouveaux matériaux et la mixité avec l’acier, la pierre ou le béton confèrent au bois un aspect plus contemporain. Les 25 réalisations(...)

Summary:
American homes are typically made of lumber and plywood delivered by a global system of ruthless extraction, or of concrete and steel, which are even worse for the planet. Wood is often the most sustainable material for building, but we need to protect diverse forests as much as we desperately need more houses. Brian Donahue addresses this modern conundrum by(...)

Summary:
American homes are typically made of lumber and plywood delivered by a global system of ruthless extraction, or of concrete and steel, which are even worse for the planet. Wood is often the most sustainable material for building, but we need to protect diverse forests as much as we desperately need more houses. Brian Donahue addresses this modern conundrum by documenting his experiences building a timber frame home from the wood growing on his family farm, practicing “worst first” forestry. Through the stories of the trees he used (sugar maple, black cherry, black birch, and hemlock), and some he didn’t (white pine and red oak), the book also explores the history of Americans’ relationship with their forests.

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.

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.
