Over the last three decades, timber architecture has seen a
resurgence in popularity thanks to the level of innovation,
experimentation and environmental responsiveness it engenders.
Designing Timber Buildings offers a comprehensive overview of
timber as a construction material, in addition to practical design
guidance. A series of ten exemplary case studies of award-winning
timber building from around the world inform and inspire the design
process. Topics covered include: the physical and mechanical
properties of wood; preservative treatments; modified timber and
engineered-timber products; environmental aspects of timber
buildings and finally, structural systems and constructional
techniques, including timber frame, structural insulated panels and
cross-laminated timber. This book is richly illustrated throughout
with detailed drawings and photographs documenting projects from
construction to completion.
