This book explores the varied ways in which wood is used in contemporary architecture, showcasing a wide selection of architectural achievements from across North and South America, Europe, and Asia.These buildings serve a wide range of purposes, from housing to schools, museums and auditoriums, to sports complexes or cultural centres. This is proof, if any were needed, of just how important wood is in architecture today, as either a structural building material or a form of cladding, opening up new horizons for clients and architects alike. The introduction takes a detailed analytical look at the different functions played by wood in modern-day architectural design, and in a world where solutions to climate-related challenges are a longawaited necessity. The ensuing chapters zoom in on a generous selection of buildings, along with sketches, layouts, cross-sections, and detailed execution plans, illustrating the importance of wood in building the architecture of the future through the myriad possibilities it offers, not only to architects and their clients, but also to architecture critics and historians.

Composite materials can lead to lighter, stronger, more durable, and better thermally performing buildings that have new formal possibilities. This book, the first to be published about this new class of materials as used in architecture, describes the technology underpinning composite materials, assesses their applicability to architecture, and surveys notable built examples throughout the globe. Projects by Foster + Partners, Zaha Hadid, Snohetta, Herzog & de Meuron, Morphosis, SHoP, Kengo Kuma, and Diller Scofidio + Renfro utilizing composite materials have recently been completed throughout the world. This book showcases those noteworthy new projects with photographs, explanatory text, drawings, diagrams, and construction photographs.

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.
