Résumé:
Wood has a long history as a building material, and for a while it seemed as if its final chapter ended during the 1950s. But things turned out differently. Today a true renaissance in timber construction is underway, and in many places it is finding expression in urban contexts. Wood buildings are appearing in ever-greater numbers, heights and typologies, from industrial buildings and museums to sports halls. Timber construction has long since liberated itself from the cliché of single-family countryside cottages. Thanks to new technologies and methods, wood has become a popular building material – conserving resources and offering a promising future.

Résumé:
Architecture and landscape have much in common. Both are constructs of our perception, which is why the properties we attribute to them, like “artificial” and “natural”, say more about our own desire to differentiate than about the true relationship between them. Architeture is, for the most part, built landscape, Kjetil Thorsen of Snøhetta argues in our Discussion(...)

Résumé:
Architecture and landscape have much in common. Both are constructs of our perception, which is why the properties we attribute to them, like “artificial” and “natural”, say more about our own desire to differentiate than about the true relationship between them. Architeture is, for the most part, built landscape, Kjetil Thorsen of Snøhetta argues in our Discussion interview. What he means by this is that tectonic objects and topography are not separate entities, but merge with each other.

Résumé:
The Barcelona-based studio Harquitectes is a model in its ability to provide value to public or private clients, in its responsibility when intervening in heritage buildings or urban environments, and in its determination to pursue sustainability in terms of energy, waste, or the life cycle of materials, issues which they address with unique thermodynamic sophistication. Besides exhibiting smart design and construction, their buildings are also aesthetically sophisticated in the use of basic materials and economical in their budgetary discipline. This special overview features twelve local Barcelona projects (“experiences”): designs for living, education, research, and civic functions.
