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:
If landscape is the secret agent and contested territory of the 20th century, then it also forms a lens and language on an increasingly deterritorialized world. Informed by systems thinking from the modern atomic age, Pamphlet Architecture 35: Going Live. From States to Systems emerges from the failure of environmentalism and rise of ecology between the 1970s and 80s, taking inspiration from preeminent urban ecologist Howard T. Odum and his book, A Tropical Rain Forest.
