Nature's greatest resource. Modern wood architecture from Tierra del Fuego to North Cape

Wood is renewable and sustainable, solid and attractive. Wood can be bent and shaped to the most modern of designs. It is the material of the moment for contemporary architecture and this new volume allows readers to get a glimpse of the most exciting and dynamic new uses of wood in architecture from all over the world. Like earthen architecture, the use of wood is almost as ancient as building itself. The columns of Greek temples are stylized trees. Today’s wooden buildings do all kinds of surprising things, and most of all, they are as “green” as they come.

Living material. You’ll be amazed what wood can do

As soon as the first men bravely moved out of their protective caves, they surely built protective structures out of wood. The ultimate renewable resource for architecture is thus the oldest, but also the most modern of materials. Thanks to computer-driven design and manufacturing techniques, wood can be cut and carved in the most astonishing new ways. Such innovative contributors to the work published in this volume as the German professor Achim Menges are showing the way to the creation of complex, almost living wood structures. Others like the young architects from WMR who are based in Santiago, Chile, show just how it is possible to build a dramatic two-story wood cabin overlooking the Pacific for just $ 30,000. Or imagine how an innovative polyurethane-coated wood canopy can cover and renew a whole area of the historic city of Seville (Metropol Parasol by Jürgen Mayer H.).

Just as it can be simple and evocative, wood can be part of sophisticated structures like Snohetta’s Norwegian Wild Reindeer Pavilion, with its CNC-milled timber wall. Economical, ecological, and fundamentally warm, wood architecture is as contemporary as it gets.

This is a selection of works from fifty-one architects from around the globe. It includes approximately twenty works from each architect, every one accompanied by explanatory text.

"Modern architecture is not a new branch of an old tree - it is an altogether new shoot rising beside the old roots." Thus Walter Gropius, one of the pioneers of modern architecture, on the radical departures of the 20th century. In the 1930s, the term International Style came into use to describe a new form of architecture evolved from Bauhaus and its conviction that "form follows function". Until the 1980s, International Style set the standard in modern building, with its logical formal idiom and rational solutions to construction problems.

Combining steel, glass and concrete, it established an aesthetic founded on the sheer thrill of pushing to the limits of technical and economic viability. Hence the exhilarating skylines of metropolises worldwide - but also the desolate anonymity of modern suburban environments.

This book traces the exciting evolution of a style while examining the individual and regional forms it took, and analyses the ideals and realities of architectural visions of utopia.

What makes a great building?

This is a question that has preoccupied architects, critics and travellers alike for centuries. Despite the rich variety of buildings around the world, from both Eastern and Western traditions, no popular, fully illustrated, specially photographed survey of the ‘greats’ has been attempted, until now …

Over 350 photographs celebrate the finest examples of architecture from over 2000 years, with such highlights as Hagia Sophia; the Gothic and Renaissance cathedrals of Europe; the Islamic masterworks at Isfahan in Iran; the Agra Fort and the Taj Mahal; the Houses of Parliament in London; Le Corbusier’s chapel at Ronchamp; and Gehry’s iconic Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

'World Architecture' features over 80 buildings, more than 40 of which receive in-depth attention in detailed photo essays. Will Pryce’s accompanying texts provide an extra dimension of understanding for the contexts, peoples and evolution of architectural history.

This book conveys all the wonder and excitement of encountering truly great buildings for the first time.
It will fascinate and enchant for many years to come.

This book presents residential architecture of the most luxurious kind around the globe. The intelligent use of light and space is revealed in the incorporation of each living area.

This second volume of a new series about young architects introduces to the projects of 57 young and innovative architects from India to Australia.

The Asian countries seek to dominate global markets not only in the area of science, technology and management, but also in the area of design, which is playing an increasingly crucial role in their strategic economic plans. One of their clear trends is the conscious use of traditional themes in combination with contemporary styles. Whether kimonos or packiging, Shinto shrines or computer designs, the viewer is stimulated by a wealth of inspiring visual stimuli. This book presents an overview of the current trends of the young Asian - Pacific design scene. Though the featured works, ideas and products vary very much from each other, they exemplify one thing for sure: The initiated dialogue between cultures and across national borders is increasingly gaining in importance.

European architecture is distinguished by a variety of forms and styles. This first volume of a new series about young architects provides insight and an overview of the arcitectural scene in Europe, and with the aid of portraits and short explanatory texts, presents the featured agencies and architects and their websites.
