Riassunto:

Timber construction has always been a domain of prefabricated building. For "good", i.e. architecturally convincing and long-lasting timber architecture, the technical circumstances of production must be taken into account, the detailing must be appropriate to the material and, of course, the structural design should reflect the particular structural requirements.
In addition, thanks to their "human" dimension and thanks also to the ecological qualities of wood as a building material, commercial, industrial and office buildings offer new chances to create a more humane working world, one that can have a positive effect on the working climate in the individual companies as well as on productivity. Corporate design - the presentation of a company using architecture as a means of business communication - today represents an important reason for businesses to build in timber.

Summary: Timber construction has always been a domain of pre-fabrication, with material specifications, design, statics and production practices playing important roles. Wood materials also have a sympathy bonus, making them eminently suitable for creating a humane working environment, thereby increasing productivity, and for corporate design and image communication: issues of vital concern for those involved in trade, industry and management administration. This publication presents projects contributed by international actors such as von Gerkan, Marg+Partner (Germany) , Morris-Nunn Associates (Australia) und Turnbull-Griffin-Haesloop (USA) , many of which have won awards. Wolfgang Ruske is a specialist on timber construction and ecological building, and author of numerous technical articles and publications.
