Résumé:
Concevoir et construire sa maison constitue une sorte de voyage initiatique ponctué de périodes d'apprentissage, d'épreuves mais aussi de bonheurs vrais. Celui, d'abord, d'apprendre en regardant l'art de la construction dans différentes civilisations. C'est une approche qui nous réinscrit dans la longue histoire des bâtisseurs et réactive une intelligence intuitive utilisant les matériaux naturels ou les matériaux de récupération. Celui, ensuite, de concevoir l'abri de ses rêves en lui donnant une forme originale, non reproductible et personnelle. A l'époque du virtuel et de la dématérialisation des relations humaines, ce «Homework» réinvestit notre environnement naturel et recueille un grand nombre de témoignes de ceux qui sont passés à l'acte partout dans le monde et qui souhaitent partager leur expérience. Trente ans après les mythiques manuels de construction alternative - Domebook et Shelter -, ce livre parcourt toutes les formes d'autoconstruction menées à partir des années soixante et jusqu'à nos jours, des adeptes du retour à la nature aux simples bricoleurs de génie. Il mêle, à travers une visite des différentes techniques de construction et des multiples matériaux naturels (terre, pierre, bois, bambou, ballot de paille), l'architecture vernaculaire et les réalisations récentes d'autoconstructeurs, dans un catalogue qui laisse libre cours à l'imagination pour vivre notre maison comme un abri naturel respectant l'environnement.

Résumé:
This book takes a practical, design-oriented and code-based approach to designing wood structures. Taking an integrative view of structures, the book strives to present structural components and members in the context of the entire building, such that the foundation, walls, beams and roof all work together in providing strength. This is in contrast to existing books where the components are presented in an isolated framework. The book provides dozens of practical, worked examples useful for instructing students on the fundamentals while also serving as design aids for professional engineers working on real-world projects.

Résumé:
The early twentieth century witnessed a transition from wood to timber construction, from log houses to dimensioned post and beams dressed for frame building. The subsequent development of laminated timber and new joinery techniques made wood a viable alternative to steel and concrete, and led to a number of awe-inspiring structures that captured, and continue to capture, the public imagination. One center of imaginative timber construction has been Switzerland, whose engineers, architects, and carpenters have provided fundamental knowledge and inspiration for builders in wood around the world. Developments in Timber Construction focuses not only on the best timber structures in Switzerland, but also on numerous international projects built by Swiss architects and engineers.

Résumé:
Architecture involving and consisting of bamboo as a building material has developed into one of the most fascinating and dynamic areas of global building culture. The giant grass is found on all continents and, as the fastest-growing plant species, is in basically infinite supply. The unique material properties combining extreme hardness with low weight, strong compressive and tensile strength, and elasticity significantly contribute to this trend. ''Bend & build'' shows the versatility of this eco-hero of architecture and interior design, whose applications have become significantly wider and more diversified This collection includes some of the finest, most creative, and cutting-edge bamboo projects of recent years. The range extends from traditional building styles and their modern interpretation to the innovative combination of bamboo with other materials.

Résumé:
Wood is without a doubt en-vogue with its impressive natural qualities. The residences presented in this volume are vivid manifestations of Frank Lloyd Wright's statements that wood is "universally beautiful to man" and "the most humanly intimate of all materials." The selected contemporary projects from around the world demonstrate the sheer endless possibilities for the use of timber in architecture and interior design. The shown architectural solutions emphasize the unparalleled advantages of this renewable building material, both in terms of design and function. Furthermore, they highlight the amazing versatility of wood, with a special focus on a large number of recently developed new techniques, processing options, and innovations. Above all, wooden architecture is a promising opportunity for architects to work towards a more CO2-neutral future.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage nous conte des histoires d'architectures en bois. Dans cette promenade à travers les âges et sur les routes du monde, il livre à l'observation 80 bâtiments qui invitent à découvrir, comprendre et aimer comment le bois a été domestiqué, façonné, industrialisé, mis en oeuvre et en forme pour faire éclore des édifices remarquables. Célébrant les savoirs et savoir-faire de l'Occident comme de l'Orient, l'ouvrage révèle, grâce à un corpus varié, la multiplicité des techniques du bois. Il montre aussi comment les architectures se nourrissent de cette matière ligneuse pour abriter les hommes, leurs rêves, leurs dieux, les faire exister et coexister avec joie. Et parce que le bois accompagne les hommes sur de nombreux chemins, le livre parle de lieux de culte remplis de foi et de hangars païens remplis de foin. Les architectes, les ingénieurs, les maîtres d'ouvrage, les enseignants, les étudiants et tous les passionnés d'architecture et de construction en bois y trouveront matière à réflexion en découvrant des bâtiments, des manières de porter, de tenir et de couvrir, mais aussi d'habiter, d'émouvoir et de symboliser.

Résumé:
There is a long tradition of using wood as a distinct and ecologically sound building material. Wooden architecture conveys for today’s world the breadth of knowledge held in Western and Eastern cultures about the creative use of this unique material. The typical technique of building with wood, joinery, requires that elements are connected only by the skillful interlocking of the constructive parts. In this book, the history of wooden architecture is described in detail using hundreds of examples from Japan, China and Europe. From a holistic understanding, a picture emerges that is informative for architects, and designers, reopens an almost lost world to builders, and will enthrall laypeople.

Résumé:
The renaissance of wood in architecture began in the early 1990s following the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. A lively interest in sustainable materials made wood particularly attractive and it became an important feature in the developing global ecology. Wood as a building material for the home has become independent from the aesthetic designs of a well-known Swedish furniture chain, and it now stands for a healthy interior environment, free of harmful toxic substances, with naturally balanced humidity and comfortable, regulated temperatures. This volume documents in full technical detail some 25 timber buildings in three main areas: residential buildings, holiday homes, and living and working. The individual projects cover a large range of sizes, budgets, and types of construction, and they also show wood in combination with such materials as stone, concrete, and steel. The featured work comes from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, USA, Canada, China, Australia and Brazil, and the architects include Philip Gumuchdjian, Mario Botta, Kengo Kuma and Baumschlager + Eberle.
