Description

In modern architecture, wood plays an important central role, and the significance of this wonderfully diverse raw material in the design of sophisticated buildings and interiors continues to increase. Historically speaking, building without wood is practically unimaginable.

The breadth of the material is extremely diverse; on the one hand, wood serves as a constructive material, yet it can also be a membrane-like surface. It allows a sensual perception that turns from harsh and cool, to warm and cosy, into perceptible experience. This book presents remarkable objects from private living spaces, public buildings and religious structures. In addition, the book also covers well-designed hotels, restaurants and bars, highlighting the latest design trends of a modern international wood-building culture
