Summary:
There is a long tradition of using wood as a distinct and ecologically sound building material. Wooden architecture conveys for today’s world the breadth of knowledge held in Western and Eastern cultures about the creative use of this unique material. The typical technique of building with wood, joinery, requires that elements are connected only by the skillful interlocking of the constructive parts. In this book, the history of wooden architecture is described in detail using hundreds of examples from Japan, China and Europe. From a holistic understanding, a picture emerges that is informative for architects, and designers, reopens an almost lost world to builders, and will enthrall laypeople.

Summary:
This book takes a practical, design-oriented and code-based approach to designing wood structures. Taking an integrative view of structures, the book strives to present structural components and members in the context of the entire building, such that the foundation, walls, beams and roof all work together in providing strength.

Summary:
Concevoir et construire sa maison constitue une sorte de voyage initiatique ponctué de périodes d'apprentissage, d'épreuves mais aussi de bonheurs vrais. Celui, d'abord, d'apprendre en regardant l'art de la construction dans différentes civilisations. C'est une approche qui nous réinscrit dans la longue histoire des bâtisseurs et réactive une intelligence intuitive utilisant les matériaux naturels ou les matériaux de récupération. Celui, ensuite, de concevoir l'abri de ses rêves en lui donnant une forme originale, non reproductible et personnelle. A l'époque du virtuel et de la dématérialisation des relations humaines, ce «Homework» réinvestit notre environnement naturel et recueille un grand nombre de témoignes de ceux qui sont passés à l'acte partout dans le monde et qui souhaitent partager leur expérience. Trente ans après les mythiques manuels de construction alternative - Domebook et Shelter -, ce livre parcourt toutes les formes d'autoconstruction menées à partir des années soixante et jusqu'à nos jours, des adeptes du retour à la nature aux simples bricoleurs de génie. Il mêle, à travers une visite des différentes techniques de construction et des multiples matériaux naturels (terre, pierre, bois, bambou, ballot de paille), l'architecture vernaculaire et les réalisations récentes d'autoconstructeurs, dans un catalogue qui laisse libre cours à l'imagination pour vivre notre maison comme un abri naturel respectant l'environnement.

Summary:
The early twentieth century witnessed a transition from wood to timber construction, from log houses to dimensioned post and beams dressed for frame building. The subsequent development of laminated timber and new joinery techniques made wood a viable alternative to steel and concrete, and led to a number of awe-inspiring structures that captured, and continue to capture, the public imagination. One center of imaginative timber construction has been Switzerland, whose engineers, architects, and carpenters have provided fundamental knowledge and inspiration for builders in wood around the world. Developments in Timber Construction focuses not only on the best timber structures in Switzerland, but also on numerous international projects built by Swiss architects and engineers.
