Description
The wood module and its optimised development play a central role in the work of Graz architect Hubert Riess. Riess team has focused on wood as a construction material for decades. The modular principle is a structural leitmotif that can be recognised in his residential buildings, commercial projects and buildings for other purposes in a number of different variants.
The book makes the case for a traditional construction material and its technical evolution, which combines mass assembly with natural elegance. The case studies document the spatial design possibilities that Hubert Riess, the architect of the first multi-level wood construction building in Austria, has explored for over 30 years. In his hands wood is as fresh and vital as it's ever been, and more than sufficient to see off artificial interlopers of more recent vintage. Get your wood on!
