Wood. From Material to Architecture

W for Wood—a material familiar to us since childhood. W for the culture of timber construction—a cornerstone of building in our region. Its renaissance is rooted in a renewed appreciation of local heritage and ecological potential. In the revitalization of old buildings and the turn toward environmentally conscious construction, regionally grounded craftsmanship and expertise find new expression. This book explores the forestry, technological, and architectural developments that have made this possible, as well as the diversity of their regional manifestations. The beauty and qualities of wood as a material are presented in unexpectedly striking ways.
