Description
Wood has undergone quite an image change. As future and trend researcher Matthias Horx succinctly states, "Wood is Style". It has shifted from being perceived as traditional and rustic to becoming a top-tier high-tech building material. In addition to its well-known ecological and building biology benefits, innovative timber construction technology offers remarkable design freedom. It is extremely precise and has the capability to enrich even the boldest architecture with warmth and cosiness.
Using wood in combination with, or in contrast to, other materials such as metal, glass, bricks, or exposed concrete is a popular choice among architects and designers. The willingness to experiment is also evident in the colour schemes of wooden houses and interiors.
Surrounded by Wood offers a unique overview of wood use in residential buildings from around the world. It introduces architects, interior designers, and builders to the diversity of contemporary timber architecture.
