Description

Timber: the old raw material and building material returns. Today, there are many reasons to build with wood, offering advantages over conventional designs. Wood is a renewable building material that helps reduce CO2 levels, making it beneficial for climate change. Modern manufacturing processes have also made it possible to use wood for various construction tasks. This book provides an overview of the possibilities in wood construction today, based on 24 international projects. It documents the architectural and constructive qualities of contemporary timber structures from conceptual design to detailed structure. The various uses are rooted in current research in modern timber engineering as well as centuries-old timber construction expertise that has evolved significantly in recent decades. The book showcases a range of possibilities in wood construction, combining excellent qualities for both construction and indoor climate control with other common building materials.
