Wood is an ideal building material for sustainable architecture. It
grows back and absorbs large quantities of CO2. But where does it
actually come from in each case, and how will we make forestry and
wood processing fit for the future? In what ways are conventional
notions of professions and qualifications in architecture,
engineering, and construction tested by using wood as building
material? French journalist Michele Leloup together with architect
Francois Leclercq - a pioneer of timber construction in France -
have for a long time explored the ecological, economic, industrial,
and technical challenges of using timber for major structures and
urban architecture. This book summarises their findings using
examples from the French forestry and construction industry. It
also takes a look at Austria and the innovative work by Hermann
Kaufmann, an internationally revered leader in the further
development of traditional timber architecture. In addition, the
book features five projects by Leclercq Associes. Richly and
attractively illustrated with new images by French architecture
photographer Cyrille Weiner, The Wood That Makes Our Cities offers
a concise survey of topical questions and findings in contemporary
timber construction.
