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.

In modern architecture, wood plays an especially central role, and the significance of this wonderfully diverse raw material in the design of sophisticated buildings and interiors continues to increase. New materials and innovative processing techniques enable the production of absolutely precise wood building materials that possess considerably improved technical and optical charasteristics. Consequently, the expanded application spectrum allows the manufacture of extremely intricate construction as well as solid components in uprecedented dimensions. Its employment in interior decorating is just as feasible as its function as a weatherproofing facade skin. Its appearance can be rough and raw, but also sophisticated and clean. It allows a sensual perception that turns almost all nuances, from harsh, almost cool, to warm and cozy, into perceptible experience. This bookpresents remarkable objects from the realm of private living space, public buildings and religious structures. Along with well-designed hotels, restaurants and bars, they form the latest currents of a modern international wood-building culture.

Is your idea if the perfect vacation home a simple log cabin by brook or a quaint cottage with shingle-clad walls? Wood homes provide a warmth not typically found with other types of construction, whether it is a handcrafted log cabin home offering a nostalgic and rustic atmosphere or a prefabricated modular home.

Wood is one of the oldest building materials known to man. It has valuable characteristics that make it a material of choice; it is highly ecological, and can be used for all kinds of structures. In addition, it has excellent insulation and sound-proofing qualities. Moreover, its texture imparts a warm finish to interiors of any style. And, of course, wood is highly prized in furniture design for its beauty and adaptability. Wood Houses presents a selection of dwellings that are made of wood, including particular focus on the use of wood in kitchens, bedrooms and even bathrooms.

Timber housing has always been found in areas that have forests, but as a material, wood is no longer the reserve of log cabins or other vernacular dwellings. Today's wood houses are found not only in the woods but also in the city, and housing types range from the traditional to the experimental. Wood Houses celebrates this diversity. In the introduction, the author explores a number of important themes, such as the development of vernacular traditions in timber housing, timber frame construction, environmental benefits and concerns associated with the material, use of wood in an urban setting and fire prevention. The book is then divided into five themed chapters. Projects from around the world, selected because they exemplify innovative uses of this popular material, are illustrated with photographs and architectural drawings.

Wood has been a traditional construction material for centuries all over the world, as it still is in many places today.

Now there is a growing interest in using wood in modern residential architecture. Architects today are drawn to it for a variety of reasons including its sustainability, versatility, economy, and natural beauty. As a result, this environmentally sustainable material is becoming increasingly significant in today's domestic architecture. Wood, intrinsically beautiful in all of its forms, can be used in practically any part of the construction from a heavy structural frame to finely detailed cabinetry, and from flooring to roof shingles.

These volumes document wood used in different buildings and constructions. Each house profile is illustrated with the architect's own plans and elevations and also numerous full color interior and exterior photographs that highlight the natural appeal of wood.

Wood provides a unique opportunity to examine contemporary wooden architecture as a global phenomenon rich in cross-cultural influences and universality. It also illustrates the diversity in the use of this material in different climates, cultures, and countries.

The book is divided into four main chapters: a short historical introduction; a compilation of different projects shown as a whole, and typologically catalogued according to the use of wood; a compilation of interior designs, arranged like the different spaces of a house and combined with wood furniture; and a catalogue of the most commonly used woods and their properties.

WOOD presents a global survey of the most outstanding works of contemporary wood architecture from around the world completed in the last five years. Organized typologically, the book illustrates more than 60 different housing projects, and includes most of the actual tendencies in wood construction around the world. It also includes fine interior designs, decorations and furniture, always showing the widest variety. Each project is illustrated with colour photographs, line drawings and a descriptive text.

A follow on from the successful Life in Oak- Framed Buildings and Timber Framed Buildings, author Ivo Pauwels describes the many different realisations of wooden structures - from garages and terraces to gardens sheds, pool houses, guest houses and home offices. Timber-framed buildings are becoming ever-more popular across Europe, and this book provides an excellent source of inspiration, illustrating a traditional building style combined with a modern way of living, working and relaxing.

Иллюстрированный альбом «АМЕРИКАНСКИЙ ДЕРЕВЯННЫЙ ДОМ», который мы хотим представить нашему читателю, посвящен одному из уникальных явлений в архитектуре и дизайне частного жилища: современному американскому загородному деревянному дому.

Надо сказать, что сегодня строительство домов из древесины в Соединенных Штатах Америки очень популярно. Во-первых, применение экологически чистого природного материала и интеграция здания в красивый окружающий ландшафт значительно повышают качество жизни.

Во-вторых, обращение, как правило, к историческим, рустикальным мотивам в оформлении фасадов и интерьеров означает для американца XXI столетия возвращение к традициям, истокам, к временам, когда первые переселенцы и покорители бескрайних просторов новых земель строили свои жилища на лоне первозданной природы. Так появляются загородные имения, где дизайнерские «воспоминания» о быте ковбоев, охотников, владельцев рисовых плантаций воплощаются в искусной работе с деревом.

Мы отобрали самые интересные и оригинальные проекты ведущих строительных и дизайнерских компаний США, специализирующихся именно в деревянном домостроении. Коттеджи, ранчо, шале, шато, усадьбы и виллы возведены в основном на северо-западе, северо-востоке, востоке и юго-востоке страны, в штатах, названия которых словно сошли со страниц увлекательных приключенческих романов: Монтана, Орегон, Юта, Теннесси, Вашингтон... А названия статей — «Вблизи оленьей тропы», «Орлиное гнездо», «Усадьба у Чёрной реки», «Жилище на холме», «Утиная охота» и так далее — символизируют необыкновенно живописное природное окружение всех этих построек.

Мы уверены, что колорит проектов, опубликованных в нашем альбоме, найдет отклик у всех, кто влюблен в красоту натурального дерева, является приверженцем идеи деревянного домостроения и жизни в согласии с природой.
