Description
Special offer price £45 (rrp £55).
Written by leading experts in timber architecture and engineering, this book investigates materials, connections, applications, and celebrates innovation.
Excellence in timber design is demonstrated in the last section of the book which is devoted to eighteen highly illustrated case studies, some award-winning, some groundbreaking. All of these have been chosen for their inspirational qualities, and include: Visitor Centres at Savill Garden and Alnwick,Weald and Downland Museum, David Douglas Pavilion, Mossbourne Academy, Formby Pool, Kingsdale School, Haberdashers Hall, Ealing Bridge, The Globe Theatre, Carlisle Lane apartments, Sage concert hall.
Timber is a flexible and aesthetically appealing material that allows designers to develop creative, high quality, innovative and robust solutions to meet client needs and exceed their aspirations.
There are now excellent examples of timber being used for landmark buildings such as the award- winning Savill Garden Visitor Centre in Windsor Great Park, in the 9-storey Murray Grove residential building, in schools and wide span structures such as supermarkets and sports centres, and in both affordable and bespoke housing. Progress and transparency in responsible sourcing means that timber is frequently preferred for its low environmental impact.
