| Sommario/riassunto: | Building with wood as an ecologically viable material is a tradition with a long history. In the most typical method, elements are connected by using wood joints which do not require the assistance of adhesives or metal connectors. By looking at several hundred examples from Japan, China and 18 European countries, this book describes in great detail the history of timber architecture in terms of its technical, aesthetic and ecological dimensions. This thorough study is a mine of information to specialists in this field; it opens up to the craftsman of today what has become an almost forgotten world and provides a fascinating account for the general reader. The new introduction to the third edition reviews developments since the first publication of this book in 1997. |
| Das Bauen mit Holz als einem gestalterisch eigenständigen und ökologisch sinnvollen Werkstoff hat eine lange Tradition. Bei der typischen Technik des Bauens mit Holz, der reinen Holzverbindung, werden die Elemente ohne Leim oder Metall einzig durch das gekonnt entworfene Ineinander der hölzernen Teile verbunden. Hier wird die Geschichte der Holzarchitektur in ihren technischen, ästhetischen und ökologischen Dimensionen detailgenau anhand von hunderten Beispielen aus Japan, China und europäischen Ländern beschrieben. Aus einem ganzheitlichen Verständnis entsteht ein Bild des Bauens mit Holz, das Fachleute informiert, Baupraktikern eine fast verlorene Welt neu erschließt und Laien ganz einfach zu faszinieren vermag.Die neue Einleitung resümiert die jüngsten Entwicklungen der letzten Jahre. | |
