Download or read book New Architecture in Wood written by Marc Wilhelm Lennartz and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2015-11-27 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timber: the old raw material and building material returns.There are many reasons today for building with wood and there are great advantages over conventional designs. Wood is not only a renewable building material that helps reduce the levels of CO2 and is hence good for climate change, but, due to modern computing and manufacturing processes, it can also be used for a variety of construction tasks. Wood possesses excellent qualities for both construction and indoor climate control, and can easily be combined with other common building materials. Based on 24 international projects, the book provides an overview of the range of possibilities in wood construction today. Texts, images, and plans document the architectural and constructive qualities of contemporary timber structures from the conceptual design to the structure in detail. The various uses are based on current research in modern timber engineering but also on timber construction expertise that has been developing over many centuries. This special discipline has evolved significantly in recent decades, particularly in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, and is a world leader today.

Download or read book Rethinking Wood written by Markus Hudert and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2019-04-18 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in the materials and the digitalization of architecture bring about new methods in design and construction. Whereas traditional timber construction consists of pre-cut and pre-assembled timber sections, modern timber buildings today consist of elaborate wood-based materials. Owing to their flexibility and good properties in terms of building physics and ecology, these wood-based materials are ideal for computer-aided building component production. Fifteen case examples from research, teaching, and practical applications provide inspiring insights into the potential of formable wood-based materials and digital design: Woven Wood, Wood Foam, Living Wood and Organic Joints, Timber Joints for Robotic Building Processes, Efficiencies of Wood, Designing with Tree Form.
Book Synopsis Turning Point in Timber Construction by : Ulrich Dangel
Download or read book Turning Point in Timber Construction written by Ulrich Dangel and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faced with man-made climate change and the need to provide housing for a growing world population, society needs to rethink the way future buildings are made. Wood is a truly renewable building material that is unlimited in supply if its growth and harvest are sustainably managed. Recent technological advancements in engineering allow the use of timber for the construction of multi-story structures, turning our buildings into carbon sinks rather than becoming sources for CO2-emissions. The book presents convincing arguments for the increased use of wood as an alternative to more fossil fuel intensive building materials, with the goal of demonstrating that an integrated approach can have the potential for positive impact on the environment, local economies, and the building culture at large.

Book Synopsis Timber Construction for Trade, Industry, Administration by : Wolfgang Ruske
Download or read book Timber Construction for Trade, Industry, Administration written by Wolfgang Ruske and published by Birkhauser Architecture. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timber construction has always been a domain of prefabricated building. For "good", i.e. architecturally convincing and long-lasting timber architecture, the technical circumstances of production must be taken into account, the detailing must be appropriate to the material and, of course, the structural design should reflect the particular structural requirements. In addition, thanks to their "human" dimension and thanks also to the ecological qualities of wood as a building material, commercial, industrial and office buildings offer new chances to create a more humane working world, one that can have a positive effect on the working climate in the individual companies as well as on productivity. Corporate design - the presentation of a company using architecture as a means of business communication - today represents an important reason for businesses to build in timber.
Book Synopsis Timber in the City by : Alan Organschi
Download or read book Timber in the City written by Alan Organschi and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As synthetic materials and mutant and hybrid concoctions attain prominence in our daily lives—in our handheld devices, cooking utensils, vehicles, even things as simple as our shopping bags—the design and construction industries have instead re-embraced the familiar, the conventional—wood, which has regained prominence through innovations in engineering and construction methodologies. Technology is now commonly used—and often (though not always) affordably used—to cut, perforate, assemble, erect, and even fabricate materials in a manner not previously possible. Wood is one such material, and Timber in the City documents both the imaginings of those in the nascence of their education and practice and the executed work of design professionals at the leading edge of architecture. These designers, regardless of the duration of their immersion in the field, have imaginatively rethought the means by which we build and the methods by which we define space merely through differing deployments of a familiar building material.
Book Synopsis Wood in Construction by : Jim Coulson
Download or read book Wood in Construction written by Jim Coulson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-04-02 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wood in Construction – How to Avoid Costly Mistakes focuses on the basic principles and appropriate use of wood in construction and illustrates how to avoid or minimise problems, to ensure that wood performs as expected when used in a construction application. Based on the author’s extensive experience of manufacturing processes and practical applications in the timber, construction, joinery, shop-fitting and furniture industries, Wood in Construction provides a guide to using wood in building in the real world. It describes the main causes of difficulty when using wood, and shows how to avoid or minimise problems, reducing the difficulties for the architect, engineer or specifier, builder and building owner. Technical enough to explain why things should be done in specific ways, but also practical enough to demonstrate how to use wood correctly and avoid doing the wrong things, this is an invaluable resource for construction specifiers (architects, engineers), carpenters, structural engineers, building surveyors, small/medium sized builders.
