Timber: the old raw material and building material returns.There
are many reasons today for building with wood and there are great
advantages over conventional designs. Wood is not only a renewable
building material that helps reduce the levels of CO2 and is hence
good for climate change, but, due to modern computing and
manufacturing processes, it can also be used for a variety of
construction tasks. Wood possesses excellent qualities for both
construction and indoor climate control, and can easily be combined
with other common building materials. Based on 24 international
projects, the book provides an overview of the range of
possibilities in wood construction today. Texts, images, and plans
document the architectural and constructive qualities of
contemporary timber structures from the conceptual design to the
structure in detail. The various uses are based on current research
in modern timber engineering but also on timber construction
expertise that has been developing over many centuries. This
special discipline has evolved significantly in recent decades,
particularly in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and is a world
leader today.
