Wood Architecture Now! / Holz-Architectur heute! / L’architecture en bois d’aujourd’hui! by Philip Jodido (Taschen 2011) showcases recent wooden buildings by leading contemporary offices. Please also see the second volume in this series.
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, tehy are as ‘green’ as they come.
