Summary:
The material timber has become particularly important for architecture in the light of the climate crisis and the search for environmentally friendly resources. This book describes the potentials of the building material timber in terms of design and construction by means of 30 constructions of various sizes and usages. The spectrum encompasses a small mountain hut, residential or school buildings, large office buildings and institutions for culture and leisure. The respective building method – solid timber construction, modular construction, heavy framing, light framing or hybrid construction – is presented by means of plans and detailed design drawings. The holistic solution approaches of the 30 architectures demonstrate the potential of timber as a sustainable building material for a climate-friendly future.

Summary:
Le dérèglement climatique est déjà là; ses effets ne feront que s’accentuer. S’y adapter implique de comprendre de quoi il retourne vraiment. Or nous n’avons pas pris, collectivement, la mesure de ce qui vient. Que veut dire manger, habiter, se déplacer, travailler à l’ère de la dérive climatique? À quels bouleversements, effets domino, conséquences insoupçonnées, faut-il se préparer? Et quelles approches privilégier, quels pièges éviter? À partir de multiples cas concrets, de travaux en sciences humaines et sociales et d’entretiens avec des spécialistes, ce livre donne à voir la variété des situations auxquelles nous devrons faire face, et propose des repères pour mieux comprendre et agir sur ce défi du siècle qu’est l’adaptation climatique.
