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.

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.

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.

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:
The renaissance of wood in architecture began in the early 1990s following the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. A lively interest in sustainable materials made wood particularly attractive and it became an important feature in the developing global ecology. Wood as a building material for the home has become independent from the aesthetic designs of a well-known Swedish furniture chain, and it now stands for a healthy interior environment, free of harmful toxic substances, with naturally balanced humidity and comfortable, regulated temperatures. This volume documents in full technical detail some 25 timber buildings in three main areas: residential buildings, holiday homes, and living and working. The individual projects cover a large range of sizes, budgets, and types of construction, and they also show wood in combination with such materials as stone, concrete, and steel. The featured work comes from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, USA, Canada, China, Australia and Brazil, and the architects include Philip Gumuchdjian, Mario Botta, Kengo Kuma and Baumschlager + Eberle.
