Building with wood as an ecologically viable material is a
tradition with a long history. In the most typical method, elements
are connected by using wood joints which do not require the
assistance of adhesives or metal connectors. By looking at several
hundred examples from Japan, China and 18 European countries, 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. The new introduction to the third edition reviews
developments since the first publication of this book in 1997.
