Living structures:What wood can do
As soon as our earliest ancestors first ventured out of their caves, they turned to wood for their protective structures. The ultimate renewable resourcefor architecture is also our oldest, rich with the evocation of bygoneharmony between human beings and their environment.
For some time pushed to the wayside by steel, concrete, and glass, wood has recently experienced an exciting revival. With the help ofcomputer-driven design and manufacturing techniques, this inaugural construction material has been rediscovered and reimagined, crafted intogeometric marvels; smooth shelters; and light, airy interiors.
FromSnhetta's Norwegian Wild Reindeer Pavilion, with its CNC-milled timber wall, to beautiful modern homes in Japan, from urban centers to wild and unforgiving landscapes, see how this ancient building matter has come to construct some of themost innovative and contemporary buildings of today.
