Résumé:
Building with wood as an ecologically viable material is a tradition with a long history. The timber architecture, which has ensued over the past centuries, reveals to the modern observer the depth of knowledge which has enabled both Eastern und Western cultures to use this material in such a creative way. In the most typical method of building with wood, elements are connected by using wood joints which do not require the assistance of adhesives or metal connectors. This art of wood jointing reached its zenith in Japan; but Europe too provided its share of highly influential forms. By looking at several hundred examples from Japan and 18 European countries, with a new chapter on China added to this enlarged edition, this book de-scribes in detail the history of timber architecture in terms of its technical, aesthetic and ecological dimensions.

Résumé:
Wood has the power to fascinate and inspire. From time immemorial, this versatile and renewable raw material has been used by designers from every discipline. Today, new finishing technologies are broadening the range of its uses and making surprising solutions possible. Wonder Wood presents this timeless material as it is being used today, and documents a selection of some one hundred current international projects by celebrated designers, architects, and artists whose cre-ative and innovative approach to the material makes their work compelling. For selected projects, interviews with the designers provide an in-depth look at the creative process and its results. A second section shines a spotlight on selected woods, wood-based materials, wood composites, and finishing technologies and presents project examples that use them. An alphabetical index provides background information on the designers represented in the book.

The “old” material of wood has been used to construct dwellings of different types since the dawn of mankind. And not without reason. Its low density combined with high rigidity, good processability, and its resistance makes it an excellent building material.

Résumé:
The “old” material of wood has been used to construct dwellings of different types since the dawn of mankind. And not without reason. Its low density combined with high rigidity, good processability, and its resistance makes it an excellent building material. There is currently a pioneering renaissance of the timber construction, for two distinct reasons: first, wood is increasingly being rediscovered as one of the most important renewable raw materials for sustainable construction. Moreover, a revolution in the construction of timber structures began several years ago with the ever-progressive use of three-dimensional CAD models for digitally controlled robot manufacturing The book documents these developments, in particular the engineering bonding techniques, the introduction of digital production techniques, and the innovative material developments of this material.

Résumé:
Sur le thème de " Projeter ensemble " des étudiants en architecture et d'autres en génie civil ont travaillé à renouveler les techniques constructives et les répertoires formels liés à l'utilisation du bois et à affirmer les valeurs " traditionnelles " de la construction en bois qui peuvent contribuer à favoriser une expansion de l'utilisation du matériau dans la construction contemporaine. II s'agit, encore et toujours, d'affirmer les principes de " longue durée " à la base de l'idée même de la modernité : " moderne est ce qui dure ". Cet album témoigne ainsi des travaux réalisés au sein du Laboratoire de construction en bois (IBOIS) de l'Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne. Le premier volet présente ceux où le matériau bois est mis en oeuvre en mettant l'accent sur sa fonction structurelle. La deuxième partie traite de l'analyse d'ouvrages historiques construits en bois. La troisième est consacrée à la conception de bâtiments pour lesquels la forme et la structure sont intimement liées et expriment la substance même du concept architectural.

Résumé:
Parmi les dizaines d'essences de bois de toutes provenances disponibles sur le marché, l'utilisateur, professionnel ou non, est souvent confronté à des choix difficiles lorsqu'il s'agit d'identifier ou d'acheter un bois. En outre, les nombreuses appellations commerciales, variables d'un pays à l'autre, ne facilitent pas sa tâche. Si un bois peut séduire par son aspect (couleur, grain, texture, veinage, etc.), il convient de savoir si ses caractéristiques physiques, mécaniques et technologiques le rendent effectivement apte à l'emploi auquel on le destine, et inversement de savoir quels sont les bois qui répondent aux critères d'emploi exigés. Cet ouvrage, grâce à ses multiples possibilités d'entrée, répond à ces questions et fournit les connaissances de base utiles à la mise en œuvre et aux diverses opérations de transformation du bois : séchage, usinage, collage, finition, préservation, etc
