Résumé:
This book presents recent Finnish wooden architecture, superbly photographed by Jussi Tiainen. Within these pages, the reader will discover ten intriguing wooden buildings, each an essential part of everyday life: offices, houses, schools, training and leisure centres, and churches. Although all buildings are of different sizes, designed in different styles, and built with different methods, they all have one thing in common -- they are all built with the most sustainable and ecological of building materials: wood.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage retrace la genèse de la nouvelle salle de présentation du Théâtre de Vidy, projet emblématique issu des recherches menées au Laboratoire de construction bois (ibois) de l’école polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). La technologie choisie – une structure plissée à double nappe réalisée en panneaux multi-plis – est sans précédent: les panneaux incluent les tenons et mortaises dans leur découpe pour permettre un assemblage sans usage de colle ou de connecteurs métalliques. Cette innovation rend possible la transmission des efforts mécaniques et le pré-positionnement de chaque panneau dans l’espace, ainsi que le démontage facile et durable de la construction. Vincent Baudriller, directeur du théâtre de Vidy, expose le contexte et les enjeux de ce pavillon. Matthieu Jaccard, historien, décrit son élaboration, en la replaçant dans son contexte historique. Yves Weinand, architecte, résume la définition de cette architecture et décrit, avec Christophe Robeller et Julien Gamerro, chercheurs à l’ibois, le processus de fabrication. Le pavillon a servi d’exemple aux étudiants en architecture de l’EPFL pour imaginer une structure portante. Leurs travaux sont présentés et commentés dans la dernière partie du livre.

Résumé:
Arthur Lochmann a délaissé ses études de droit et de philosophie pour devenir charpentier. En apprenant le métier, il a découvert des gestes, des techniques et une pensée de la matière qui ont transformé son rapport au monde. Ce récit d’apprentissage plein d’humilité entremêle souvenirs de chantiers et réflexions sur le corps, le savoir et le travail aujourd’hui. Avec une langue limpide et élégante, l’auteur montre comment la pratique de cet artisanat lui a donné des clés précieuses pour s’orienter dans une époque frénétique. Parce qu’apporter du soin à son travail, c’est déjà donner du sens à son action ; qu’apprendre et transmettre des savoirs anciens, c’est préserver un bien commun ; et que bien bâtir, c’est s’inscrire dans le temps long : la charpente est une éthique pour notre modernité.

Résumé:
Wood is suitable for use in multistorey building construction with barely any restrictions. This is new and requires creative rethinking of tried and tested practices in wood construction: classical categories can be replaced by mixed construction methods as necessary within a project, which yields completely new possibilities in designing wood structures. The Manual provides architects, engineers and wood specialists with the essential expertise on the new systematics and construction methodology, from the design to prefabrication to the implementation on site. It lays the grounds for mutual understanding among everyone involved in the project, to facilitate the necessary cooperation in the integral planning and construction process.

Résumé:
Wood has a centuries-long tradition as well as a huge potential for future use as a highly versatile building material. ''Crafting wood'' presents newly gained knowledge on timber construction and on timber joints in particular. This book—illustrated with plans, sketches, and photographs—emerged from an international educational cooperation of the University of Liechtenstein in Vaduz, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU in Trondheim, and the Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam. The program looked at a vast range of timber joints from different theoretical and practical perspectives. Students conceived and made by hand new joints that were then applied in prototypes for entire structures, also designed as part of the course, at a scale of 1:5. By analyzing this learning process, the book provides a new overview of the topic of timber joints in architecture through text and images.

Résumé:
The worldwide booming timber construction sector and its rapid development beyond the limits of high-rise buildings demands high-performance materials, which are made possible by hardwood. Innovative production methods and manufacturing processes create economically competitive products that open up completely new possibilities for the construction sector - thanks to an almost forgotten building material. For it was not without reason that construction sector used predominantly hardwood until the 18th century. “Building with hardwood” focuses on its use in the supporting structure. The publication provides specialist knowledge for the safe handling of hardwood in building construction and shows successful examples of architecture from practice for practice.
