Timber is enjoying a renaissance as a building material, as more architects come to understand its properties, and take pleasure in adding it to heir repertoire. The latest buildings show that timber is no longer the sole preserve of the traditionalist, but has an iportant role to play in the contemporary world.
Following the introduction 40 case studies examine recent projects from around the world, which range from highly advanced large-span engineered structures to buildings that are literally grown in place. There are simple vernacular houses but also an extrovert Japanese temple, a playful office in the USA, and a contemporary apartment building in Paris.
