Not long ago, some might have considered timber a material of the past, long since replaced by more modern components such as concrete and steel. The truth is radically different. Driven by new manufacturing techniques and ecological benefits, timber has experienced a fabulous resurgence in contemporary construction.
This book explores how architects around the world have created and invented with this elemental material. Featuring follies, super-sized buildings, and ambitious urban renewal plans, it celebrates the diverse use of timber by architects across the globe. We see how timber can both transform urban spaces, as in Jürgen Mayer H.’s Metropol Parasol in Seville, and allow for sensitive interventions in natural surroundings, as in Germán del Sol’s Termas Geométricas complex in Pucón, Chile.
