Not so very long ago, some might have considered wood a material of the past, long since replaced by more modern components such as concrete and steel. The truth is radically different. Bolstered by new manufacturing techniques and ecological benefits, wood has seen a fabulous resurgence in contemporary construction.
This book explores how architects around the world have created and invented with this elementary material. Featuring follies, very large buildings, and ambitious urban renewal schemes, it celebrates the diverse deployment of wood by architects around the world. We see how wood can at once transform urban spaces, as in the Metropol Parasol in Seville by Jürgen Mayer H., and allow for sensitive interventions in natural environments, such as at the Termas Geométricas Hot Springs Complex in Pucón, Chile, by Germán del Sol.
True to all TASCHEN architecture titles, the book pays tribute to many emerging international talents as well as to such renowned figures as Tadao Ando and Renzo Piano. It celebrates each architect’s vision and innovation, as well as investigating the techniques, trends, and principles that have informed their work with wood. It examines the computer-guided milling that has allowed for novel new forms, the responsible harvesting that allows wood to align with our environmental concerns, and, above all, wood’s enduring appeal to our senses and psyche, comforting hectic modern lives with a sense of Arcadian simplicity.

Gebunden. Condizione: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut Leichte Lagerspuren -Vor gar nicht allzu langer Zeit bestand die Zukunft noch aus Beton, Glas, Stahl und Verbundstoffen; Holz spielte in der modernen Architektur nur eine Außenseiterrolle. Das hat sich geändert: Dank neuer Herstellungstechniken und seiner ökologischen Vorteile erlebt Holz eine furiose Wiedergeburt als zeitgemäßes Baumaterial. Dieser Band erkundet, wie Architekten überall auf der Welt mit diesem elementaren Material arbeiten. Er stellt eine breite Palette an Gebäudetypen und ehrgeizige urbane Bauprojekte vor und zeigt, wie zum Beispiel Jürgen Mayer H. mit seinem Metropol Parasol in Sevilla ganze Stadtteile verändert hat oder wie die finnische Forstliche Versuchsanstalt von SARC Architects und die Termas Geométricas von Germán del Sol sensible Eingriffe in die Natur vornehmen. Ganz in der Tradition der TASCHEN-Architekturreihe präsentiert dieses Buch junge internationale Talente neben etablierten Altmeistern der Zunft wie Tadao Ando oder Renzo Piano. Es gewährt einen Einblick in die Techniken, Trends und Prinzipien, die ihre Arbeit mit Holz prägen. Dabei geht es ebenso um den computergestützten Holzzuschnitt, der vollkommen neue Formen ermöglicht, wie um verantwortungsvolle, umweltgerechte Forstwirtschaft - und auch um den anhaltenden Charme von Holz, der unsere Sinne und unseren Geist anspricht und uns in der Hektik des modernen Lebens mit idyllischer Schönheit und Einfachheit Ruhe schenkt. 624 pp. Englisch, Deutsch, Französisch.
