"With 170 structures from the last 1,000 years, Wood features projects from some of the world's most celebrated architects. Renzo Piano's otherworldly New Caledonian Cultural Centre is found alongside projects from Tadao Ando and Peter Zumthor. Even the work of Le Corbusier, an architect best known for his work in concrete, is shown -- his humble Mediterranean log cabin, Le Cabanon, was his last home. Arranged to promote comparison and discussion, the selected projects take the reader on a global tour of inspiring and intriguing structures: a Vietnamese village hall sits beside a state-of-the-art Belgian laboratory, an Italian anatomical theatre alongside a luxurious Canadian sauna and an onion-domed Russian church next to a fortified Japanese castle. Illustrated with extraordinary photographs, each project includes an extended caption providing an insightful commentary on the building. An essay by the bestselling author and naturalist Richard Mabey explores the close relationship between trees and architecture"--Provided by publisher.

Building with wood as an ecologically viable material is a tradition with a long history. The timber architecture which has ensued over the past centuries reveals to the modern observer the depth of knowledge which has enabled both Eastern und Western cultures to use this wonderful material in such a creative way. In the most typical method of building with wood, elements are connected by using wood joints which do not require the assistance of adhesives or metal connectors. This art of wood jointing reached its zenith in Japan; but Europe too provided its share of highly influential forms. By looking at several hundred examples from Japan and 18 European countries, with a new chapter on China added to this enlarged edition, this book describes in great detail the history of timber architecture in terms of its technical, aesthetic and ecological dimensions. This thorough study is a mine of information to specialists in this field; it opens up to the craftsman of today what has become an almost forgotten world and provides a fascinating account for the general reader. "Here is a man who has trekked though the wild Carpathian forests, the Norwegian outback, the Russian steppes and obscure regions of Japan in pursuit of the wood joint. He tells the story with a sense of unfolding discovery; for anyone interested in how buildings work this book is a joy to read." the architects' journal Das Bauen mit Holz als einem gestalterisch eigenständigen und ökologisch sinnvollen Werkstoff hat eine lange Tradition. Holzarchitektur vermittelt der heutigen Zeit das vielfältige Wissen westlicher und östlicher Kulturen über den schöpferischen Umgang mit diesem unverwechselbaren Material. Das Bauen mit Holz als einem gestalterisch eigenständigen und ökologisch sinnvollen Werkstoff hat eine lange Tradition. Holzarchitektur vermittelt der heutigen Zeit das vielfältige Wissen westlicher und östlicher Kulturen über den schöpferischen Umgang mit diesem unverwechselbaren Material. Bei der typischen Technik des Bauens mit Holz, der reinen Holzverbindung, werden die Elemente ohne materialfremde Hilfe, ohne Leim oder Metall, nur durch das gekonnt entworfene Ineinander der hölzernen Teile verbunden. Zur höchsten Blüte gelangte die Kunst der Holzverbindung in Japan, aber auch in europäischen Ländern haben sich einflussreiche Formen entwickelt. Deshalb wird hier die Geschichte der Holzarchitektur in ihren technischen, ästhetischen und ökologischen Dimensionen detailgenau anhand von vielen hundert Beispielen aus Japan und 18 europäischen Ländern - in dieser Neuausgabe um ein Kapitel über China erweitert - beschrieben. Die Schönheit der Holzbauten und ihrer Details vermittelt sich in brillanten Schwarzweißaufnahmen. In anschaulichen dreidimensionalen Zeichnungen offenbart sich das geheime Innenleben der Holzverbindungen. Aus einem ganzheitlichen Verständnis wird ein Bild des Bauens mit Holz entworfen, das Fachleute informiert, Baupraktikern eine heute fast verlorene Welt neu erschließt und Laien ganz einfach zu faszinieren vermag. «Ein Buch für Ästheten ...» Baumeister «Zwergers Liebe zum Material zieht sich durch das ganze Buch.» architektur.aktuell

Der Holzbau steht neben dem Mauerwerk in aller Regel an erster Stelle der konstruktiven Übungen im Studium. Zunächst wird der Baustoff Holz in seinen Facetten dargestellt und grundlegende Prinzipien im Holzbau erläutert. Zudem werden systematisch die wesentlichen Bauteile mit ihren Konstruktionsmöglichkeiten im Holzbau erarbeitet.Themen: Baustoff Holz Holzschutz Holzbausysteme Bauteile von der Gründung bis zum Dach Together with masonry construction, timber construction is usually one of the first building exercises encountered by the student in his or her training. This volume begins by presenting the building material timber in all of its facets and explaining the fundamental principles of timber construction. It then goes on to describe the most important building components and their constructive possibilities, specifically as they pertain to building with timber. Subjects: Timber as building material, Timber preservation, Systems for building with timber, Building components from foundation to roof.
