Samenvatting:The specimens, as things of beauty, are greatly to be prized…. The workis valuable and unique." -The Boston Globe, on the original editionCulled and assembled by Romeyn Beck Hough between 1888 and 1913 in whatstill remains and stunning and unparalleled achievement, American Woods-originally published in 14 volumes, with actual specimens mounted oncard stock-is a work of breathtaking beauty that has set the standard forstudy of trees and wood. TASCHEN's Wood Book reproduces, in painstakingfacsimile, all of the specimen pages from the original volumes; for thispurpose we have obtained the use of an extremely rare original set ofvolumes in very good condition, with minimal damage to the wood cuts. Foreach tree, three different cross-section cuts of wood are represented(radial, horizontal, and vertical), demonstrating the particularcharacteristics of the grain and the wealth of colors and textures to befound among the many different wood types. Also included in this specialedition are lithographs by Charles Sprague Sargent of the leaves and nutsof most trees, as well as texts describing the trees' geographicalorigins and physical characteristics. Interior designers, craftsmen,nature enthusiasts, and artists alike will enjoy this beautifulcollection of wood samples which includes many trees that are now veryrare or completely extinct.

Dieses Buch untersucht experimentelle Ansätze für Entwurf und Umsetzung von Holzstrukturen in der Architektur und präsentiert zugleich die Resultate eines künstlerischen Forschungsprojekts. Durch den Einsatz digitaler Werkzeuge wird die Anatomie des Holzes als entwurfsbestimmendes Prinzip für Raumgefüge genutzt, das Potenzial traditioneller Handwerkskunst erforscht und daraus eine materialorientierte Architekturpraxis abgeleitet. Strukturen werden hier nicht für eine bestimmte Nutzung entworfen, sondern eröffnen aufgrund ihrer spezifischen räumlichen und geometrischen Eigenschaften unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten der Bespielung. Die Dokumentation gibt Einblick in einen ergebnisoffenen Forschungsprozess. Gastbeiträge reflektieren die zugrunde liegenden Konzepte und damit die zukünftige Relevanz des Baustoffs Holz. This book explores experimental approaches to the design and construction of wooden structures in architecture, while presenting the results of an artistic research project. Through the use of digital tools, the anatomy of wood becomes a design-determining principle for spatial structures. The architects and artists also explore the potential of traditional craftsmanship and derive from this a material-oriented practice. Structures are not designed here for a specific use, but rather open up various usage possibilities due to their unique spatial and geometric properties. The documentation provides insight into an open-ended research process. Guest contributions reflect on the underlying concepts and thus the future relevance of wood as a building material.

Bowett charts the species, sources, and history of the woods used in British furniture making from medieval times to the twentieth century. The main dictionary section of the book has 460 entries that cover 477 species of hardwoods and softwoods and detail the history of each wood, describe its uses, and provide cross references to other woods. Extensively illustrated with examples of historic furniture, this book also includes an introductory survey of the historic timber trade and several appendices, including over 160 illustrated wood samples from the Economic Botany collection at Kew Gardens. The layout and accompanying photographs make this a valuable and accessible read that will interest furniture and antique enthusiasts, collectors, restorers, curators, and botanists, among others.

'Booming Bamboo' provides a comprehensive overview of the enormous potential of this sustainable resource. Not only for architecture and design but also for a multitude of other applications. After covering the "bamboo basics" (growth, properties, cultural history, industrialisation), the first part of the book introduces the many benefits of bamboo as a fast-growing, renewable resource. The second part presents the various ways in which bamboo can be transformed into many different exciting materials and fabrics.
