Materials inspire and arouse emotions, they surround us everywhere, we possess them and feel them. As with people, our first impression of them is provided by the visual perception they create. The Architecture Compact series presents materials that on the one hand convey a unique impression through their inherent physical characteristics, and on the other hand achieve surprising results when used in combination with each other.

Materials inspire and arouse emotions, they surround us everywhere, we possess them and feel them. Similarly to people, our formative first impression of them is provided by the visual perception they create. Containing around 250 full colour illustrations, the Architecture Compact series presents materials that on the one hand convey a unique impression through their inherent physical characteristics, and on the other hand achieve surprising results when used in association or combination with each other.

In der Reihe Architecture Compact werden Materialien vorgestellt, die einserseits durch ihre Beschaffenheit eine ganz eigene Anmutung mit sich bringen, anderseits in der Verarbeitung und Kombination mit- bzw. untereinander überraschende Ergebnisse erzielen.

Les matériaux nous passionnent, nous les rencontrons partout, à chaque pas, nous les touchons, nous les sentons, ils font partie intégrale de notre vie. La série Architecture compact présente des matériaux qui ont leur charme à l'état brut mais qui produisent aussi des créations surprenantes quand ils sont traités et associés à d'autres éléments.

Wood has unique qualities, yet is undervalued or ignored in histories of architecture. However, leading designers around the world are increasingly drawn to it to satisfy social and environmental needs.

Will Pryce is an award-winning photographer who trained as an architect and photojournalist. His pictures have made him the most admired architectural photographer in Britain. Intensely dramatic but not over-dramatized, technically flawless, but not merely documentary, they convey all the excitement of encountering these amazing structures first-hand. He has travelled the world seeking the famous and the obscure.

In the substantial text he shows how the wooden heritage of Japan grew from its Buddhist history; how Russia’s carpenters determined its iconic domes; how Norway’s stave churches contain clues to her pagan past; how Turkic tribes brought the yali from Asia; how the settlers of New England would use a provincial English tradition on the new continent; and how, today, sophisticated architects such as Peter Zumthor and Renzo Piano are inventing an eloquent new wooden architecture.

Fifty of the world’s most important buildings seen through specially commissioned isometric illustrations and detailed photographs and plans, providing the perfect introduction to architecture for students and anyone interested in buildings.

Taking readers behind architecture’s facades and finishes, this charmingly illustrated book explores how some of the most important buildings in the world were constructed. Specially commissioned isometric drawings present the essential structural elements of the world’s masterpiece buildings that are not visible to the naked eye. These illustrations are displayed alongside plans, details, and photographs, all of which are clear and accessible, yet accurate and elegant enough to satisfy the most discerning eye.

This fascinating book explores the thinking and expertise behind architects’ designs and offers a means by which to better understand buildings already visited as well as those on the must-see list. Selections range from domestic structures such as Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater and skyscrapers such as the Chrysler Building, to iconic classics such as the Louvre and Barcelona’s famed Sagrada Familia Cathedral. The buildings have been chosen for their importance and interest, their role in the development of architectural thinking, and the structural secrets that intricate 3-D drawings can reveal.

Архиwood – премия, учрежденная компанией HONKA и pr-агентством «Правила общения» в 2009 году ставит своей целью пропаганду деревянной архитектуры, пропаганду дерева как идеального материала для cтроительства, настолько же выразительного, насколько экологичного, настолько же модного, насколько экономичного, настолько же традиционного, насколько актуального. В каталоге Премии, выпущенном TATLIN, собраны наиболее выдающиеся деревянные постройки за последний год: частные дома всех возможных стилей и направлений – от традиционных скатных избушек до модернистских объектов и даже парафразов классической дачной архитектуры начала 20 века, малые объекты, объекты городской среды, арт-объекты. Набор номинаций претерпел некоторые изменения: из-за небольшого количества заявок отпали «Интерьеры» и «Дерево в отделке». Также в каталог вошли 26 проектов экспозиции Архиwood, на проект которой был проведен закрытый конкурс

The homes vary from small to large, and cover layouts from "erected as found" to modern configurations. One thing they all have in common, though, is that they look the way log homes are supposed to look. Dove-tailed corners, weathered barn wood, antique heart pine, and ancient beams, logs, and posts were used abundantly in their construction.
