Description
Wood has experienced a remarkable resurgence in contemporary construction, thanks to advances in manufacturing techniques and its ecological benefits. This Bibliotheca Universalis edition showcases how architects around the world have creatively used wood in their designs.
The book features a diverse range of projects, from large buildings like the Metropol Parasol in Seville, to ambitious urban renewal schemes and sensitive interventions in natural environments, such as the Termas Geométricas Hot Springs Complex in Chile. It celebrates the work of both emerging international talents and renowned architects, including Tadao Ando and Renzo Piano.
The book explores the techniques, trends, and principles that have informed architects' use of wood, including computer-guided milling and responsible harvesting. It also examines how wood can transform urban spaces and provide a sense of Arcadian simplicity in hectic modern lives.
