Abstract

From small-scale thermal properties to large-scale forestry, territorial, and carbon cycle issues, wood has latent propensities not well addressed in the current discourse on wood construction. Through a range of design research formats - from material testing to in-situ documentation to speculative urban projects - this book articulates and illustrates future architectural and ecological potentials of wood. From under-considered thermal properties to emerging manufacturing possibilities to forestry regimes to larger ecosystem and carbon cycle dynamics, wood is uniquely positioned for ecological urbanization in the twenty-first century yet remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. As the unique material properties of wood operate at multiple, simultaneous spatial and temporal scales - so should the discussions surrounding wood's role as a critical material for design today. This book brings into conversation scholars and practitioners who focus on wood from a range of perspectives - from the working forest to the mid-rise building to the cell itself. The aim is to examine the implications and potentials of wood urbanism, drawing particular focus to the complex relationships between land-use, wood production, and wood construction. While relying on the inherent intelligence and depth of multiple disciplines, a more totalizing thermodynamic perspective on the role of wood in contemporary buildings, urbanization, and territories is needed: from the unperceptively small to the unperceptively large.

Abstract

Matériau de base de l'artiste comme du maçon, la chaux est le liant de la construction le plus le plus ancien ; il est aussi resté le plus traditionnel. La construction moderne l'avait délaissée, rompant de fait la transmission d'un savoir-faire qu'il a fallu patiemment redécouvrir et dont on trouvera le détail dans ce manuel. On y apprendra notamment comment fabriquer la chaux, quelles sont ses propriétés et comment mettre en œuvre mortiers, enduits, stucs et peintures. Destiné aux artisans comme à l'ensemble des professionnels du bâtiment travaillant sur des chantiers où ce matériau est mis en œuvre - principalement en restauration du bâti ancien - ce grand classique contient tout ce qu'il faut savoir, depuis le choix des techniques jusqu'à l'organisation du chantier, en passant par les outils et leur maniement.
