The chapters cover the basic principles of working with timber and provide detailed information on subjects such as thermal performance, sound insulation and fire protection. There is also a chapter devoted to the ecological significance of wood. Timber as a loadbearing material is considered and topics such as new methods of jointing, transport and erection are documented. The second part of the book presents a large number of built examples, which feature some classic structures but focus chiefly on more recent buildings. These are presented with full illustrations, details and plans which depict solutions as built for various loadbearing systems. The spectrum of timber structures presented ranges from heavy-duty bridges to multi-storey residential buildings and the magnificent Expo roof. The second chapter of examples deals specifically with topics such as facades, building envelope etc. All drawings and illustrations have been carefully produced to ensure that the details and methods of construction documented are clear and comprehensible.

"The Concrete Design Competition" demande aux étudiants d'enquêter sur l'utilisation innovatrice de béton dans l'architecture. Cette première édition commencera en septembre de 2003 et est ouvert pour les étudiants dans les disciplines de design, faisant les études aux écoles dans les pays suivants : la Belgique, l'Allemagne, l'Irlande, les Pays-Bas, le Portugal, la Suède, la Turquie et le Royaume-Uni. La compétition se déroulera toutes les deux années. Le cycle se compose d'une compétition de design avec des jurys nationaux et internationaux, une classe de maître internationale pour les lauréats de la compétition et d'une publication présentant les résultats. "The Concrete Design Competition" est une initiative d'un consortium de l'industrie de ciment européenne.

Space and form have dominated architecture for a long time. Nowadays, materiality has great currency in contemporary architecture and in architectural education. The choice of architectural materials has never been greater and architects use materials in innovative ways as never before. [This book] catalogues 200 different surface materials in eight families: wood, natural stone, fired man-made stone, unfired man-made stone, glass, metal, plastics and future materials. Each individual sample material is shown on the right-hand pages via a very detailed, full-page and full-colour picture, which gives the reader the impression that he is standing right in front of the actual material. On each opposite page the book shows examples of striking usage by architects and a description of the specific physical and sensory characteristics of the material. Each material family is introduced by an illustrated essay highlighting the general characteristics and history of the material as it is used in architecture. [This book] is in extent, visual quality and practical information an unsurpassed source of information on architectural surfaces for professionals.
