Wood has a centuries-long tradition as well a huge potential for future use as a highly versatile building material. Crafting Wood: Structure and Expression presents newly gained knowledge on timber construction and on timber joints in particular.This book?lavishly illustrated with plans, sketches, and photographs?emerged from an international educational cooperation of the University of Liechtenstein in Vaduz, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology NTNU in Trondheim, and the Academy of Architecture in Amsterdam. The program treated a vast range timber joints from diverse theoretical and practical aspects. Students conceived and made by hand new joints that were then applied in prototypes for entire structures, designed also as part of the course, at a scale of 1:5. The volume analyzes this learning process and offers a new introduction to the topic of timber joints in architecture through text and images.

Reinforced concrete is the go-to powerhouse of modern construction: no other load-bearing building material is as malleable with similarly good noise and fire protection properties. The book illustrates this versatility with around 20 building examples and specialist articles from the fields of structural and civil engineering. In-depth project descriptions and numerous detailed drawings show the design and construction process of these halls, bridges, railway stations, and office buildings. Articles informed by research and practice also portray a building material in transformation. Still, the reinforced concrete buildings of earlier decades also constitute a legacy, and their restoration and maintenance continue to fascinate us to this day. The book also takes a critical look at the handling of this building material.

Thanks to high-performance composite structures made of wood and steel or concrete, wooden buildings are now being erected far beyond the high-rise boundaries. An end to the increase in altitude is hardly in sight. Wooden constructions are also on the uptrend in residential and office construction, sports halls, industrial buildings and bridges. They are the epitome of sustainable building and, thanks to new prefabrication processes, are also competitive in terms of construction costs. The book shows the current development of structural planning with wood on the basis of around 20 outstanding engineering structures. The engineers involved in the planning describe the conception of the supporting structures as well as individual solutions for their implementation.

Ce nouveau volume de "Construire en bois" propose une mise à jourcomplète, remaniée et augmentée des précédents volumes ("Construire enbois", "Construire en bois 2"), et se pose comme nouvel ouvrage deréférence de la construction en bois pour les architectes et lesingénieurs. Les avantages de la construction en bois restentsous-estimés de nos jours et peu de procédés subissent autant depréjugés négatifs et infondés de la part des maîtres d'ouvrage, desassureurs et des planificateurs. Mais les avantages offerts par cematériau sont nombreux, tant d'un point de vue technologiquequ'économique ou écologique. Fruit de l'expérience de deux ingénieurset trois architectes, "Construire en bois" privilégie cette doubleapproche dans le but d'améliorer sans cesse la conception des ouvragesen bois. Riche de centaines de photographies en noir et blanc et encouleurs (ainsi que de milliers de dessins), il présente une vastegamme de formes, de moyens et de techniques d'assemblage, deconceptions d'appui et de systèmes porteurs, et rassemble ainsi en unseul manuel toutes les informations relatives aux propriétés dumatériau bois et ses possibilités d'utilisation dans le domaine de laconstruction. Exhaustif, synthétique et abondamment illustré par denombreux exemples construits, ce nouveau volume de "Construire enbois" constitue un outil véritablement indispensable pour tous lesacteurs de la construction.

The Ecologies of the Building Envelope theorizes the building envelope as a literal embodiment of the social, political, technological, and economic contingencies which have become embedded within it over the last century, analyzing the historical lineages, heroes and villains that helped define the complex material ecologies we see within the envelope today. While the facade is one of the most thoroughly theorized elements of architecture, it is also one of the most questioned since the end of the 19th century. Within the discipline of architecture, the traditional understanding of the facade focuses primarily on semiotic and compositional operations (such as proportional laws and linguistic codes) which are deployed on the building's surface. Rather than producing a stylistic analysis of the facade, we investigate the historical lineages of the performances, components, assembly types, and material entanglements that constitute the contemporary building envelope.
