"Developments in Timber Engineering: The Swiss Contribution traces the development of wood as a building material in Switzerland and shows the influence of Swiss experts. Wood was indispensable in many areas of life well into the nineteenth century, but its role was gradually usurped by the new "technical" materials of steel and concrete in the early twentieth century. In recent years, the development of new wooden materials with large dimensions and great strength, as well as improvements in connection technology, have given wood a unique new position in the field of engineered applications. Over the last few decades, outstanding builders have designed and constructed numerous structures in Switzerland that have not only blazed new trails, but also set the tone for further innovations."--Jacket.
