The book presents Slovenia's contemporary timber architecture.
Thanks to its abundant forests, Slovenia has preserved the
tradition of wood construction. As much as 60% of its surface is
covered by forests. Slovenia is also the third most forested
country in Europe. The high share of forest-covered surface allows
for a sustainable production of high-quality wood. In the past,
wood was used primarily in the construction of farm buildings, but
now timber architecture is used for everything from residences and
office buildings to public buildings such as community centres and
schools. Timber construction is becoming increasingly popular.
Apart from larger companies taking this approach, a great number of
wooden houses have sprung up, built either on personal initiative
or with the support of carpenter workshops. Slovenian timber
architecture has taken a new approach to environmental and
energy-efficiency problems and received great international
recognition. The book discusses over fifty projects built over a
ten-year period, and includes descriptions, photographs and plans.
The projects include residential areas, administration, and office
as well as tourist, educational and industrial buildings. Timber
architecture is presented as an integral part of the Slovenian
landscape. The monograph will be useful to designers and future
experts in their planning of optimal timber buildings and will
highlight the main benefits of using timber construction.
