Product Description
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 book presents 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.

If you are looking for a book which contains a great amount of interesting architectural works involving wood than this may be what you want. This is a great reference piece to begin to familiarize yourself with a variety of different ways that wood is used or could be used but note that this is primarily a photo based book. It has some truly beautiful images and along with each work listed is the name of the structure, the architect, and the location so that if desired you can further research the particular piece of work.

Hope that you enjoy. Would also recommend the Glass Design, Steel Design, and Stone Design as a base group.
