Description

Natural, renewable, reusable, and aesthetically pleasing, wood is the consummate building material.

Thanks to incredible advances in both application and sustainability, it is being used across the world to create new and surprising styles.

This exhilarating global survey features exquisite photography that captures a wide range of twenty-first century construction in residential, public, cultural, educational, commercial, and entertainment-related spaces.

From the Mount Fuji World Heritage Center in Shizuoka, Japan and the Eystur Town Hall in the Faroe Islands to the College of Forestry at Oregon State University the newly completed Coarvematta National Theater High School in Norway, each building is featured in double-page spreads with lush color photographs that allow readers to appreciate timber's intrinsic qualities against a variety of backgrounds, scales, and typologies.

Plans and building specifications are accompanied by the latest developments in research and design.

Eco-friendly and robust, timber's applications are almost unlimited, extending to the tallest skyscrapers, and to every livable corner of our planet.

This volume offers encouraging proof that architects around the world are responding to a climate crisis in ways that not only preserve the earth, but also provide pleasing environments in which to live, work, and play.
