This book weaves a much needed and transformational narrative about
making architecture through paying close attention to
cross-laminated timber as a material for today. The material
becomes the site of experimentation, innovation, and research in
search of specific meanings of CLT in architecture at various
scales by selecting the "CLT Blank" as the building unit. The
structure of the book brings together work and texts from a diverse
group of theorists and practitioners, who make material central to
their inquiry, to suggest design approaches that will broaden the
cultural, spatial, and technological significance for architecture,
education, engineering, and industry. The outcome focuses on
materiality through fast slippages between art, architecture, and
science, that we hope will invigorate and expand new discourse to
act as an antidote to the current conversations about the material,
that is fixated on its making and mass production, disappointingly
portraying it as a bland and lifeless product-a notion we want to
be distant from in preference to seeking areas we feel were not yet
conceptualised or theorised. The potential to see the spatial
properties of its use and what kind of world that might suggest is
shown in the book, with selected striking visual materials, to
reposition its architecture though new forms of representation and
responses that continue to stay in touch with pragmatics.
Aesthetics of CLT with a connection to wood and art practice is a
central thread though the book.
