Résumé:
New software and digital fabrication is changing how we use wood. This book brings together international designers, manufacturers and researchers examining natural and synthetic wood technologies. Composite materials, parametric design and automated fabrication technologies are explored, illustrating new design tools, custom manufacturing and advanced assembly methods. The papers of this book were published on the occasion of the Canadian Design Research Network Parametric Modeling and Digital Wood Fabrication Workshop and Symposium held at the Forest Sciences Centre at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver on February 15-24, 2007. The essays and projects in this volume demonstrate flexible, adaptable design qualities reflecting a rapidly changing society. CD with complete electronic version of the book included.

Résumé:
Timber construction has become completely modernized. It has gained considerably in market share with respect to competing building materials and is dominated by systems such as frame and solid timber construction. Every timber construction is determined by its structure. Hence it is essential to know the connections and relationships from the design stage right through to the construction phase. Systems in Timber Engineering takes a whole new approach to this subject. It is a comprehensive, analytical, and visually organized treatment, from the simple single-family house to the large-scale multistore structure. It includes the building envelope, which is so important for saving energy, and systems for ceilings and interior dividing walls, which are so essential from the vantage point of construction. This work uses plans, schematic drawings, and pictures to show the current and forward-looking state of the technology as applied in Switzerland, a leading country in the field of timber construction.

Résumé:
This book tells the success story of Finnish wood construction and throws new light on the direction of housing construction in Finland today, where more than a decade of development and construction of modern wooden towns and compact, low-rise housing has created a wealth of knowledge and a diverse variety of pioneering and resident-oriented wooden residential milieux. Modern wooden town construction is investigated from three key perspectives: past and present studies, experiences and newly completed building projects. The book�s expert commentary and presentations of completed wooden housing areas showcase the best of Finnish expertise in wood construction and highlight the myriad possibilities of building in wood.

Résumé:
Wood holds unique and timely lessons for urbanization, yet it remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. From under-considered thermal properties to emerging manufacturing possibilities, from changing forestry regimes to larger carbon cycle dynamics, "Wood Urbanism" explores the unique material and scalar properties of wood, presenting it as a critical material for design today. It brings into conversation scholars and practitioners who focus on wood from a range of perspectives: from the working forest to the mid-rise building to the basic cell. Drawing from the inherent intelligence and depth of multiple disciplines, this book offers a transcalar perspective on the role of wood in contemporary urbanization: from the imperceptibly small to the confoundingly large.

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:
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.
