For "good", i.e. architecturally convincing and long-lasting timber architecture, the technical circumstances of production must be taken into account, the detailing must be appropriate to the material and, of course, the structural design should reflect the particular structural requirements. In addition, thanks to their "human" dimension and thanks also to the ecological qualities of wood as a building material, commercial, industrial and office buildings offer new chances to create a more humane working world, one that can have a positive effect on the working climate in the individual companies as well as on productivity. Corporate design - the presentation of a company using architecture as a means of business communication - today represents an important reason for businesses to build in timber.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new resource covers the material selection, structural design and connections detailing of truly sustainable timber buildings through: consideration of the nature of wood and the heritage of timber construction, including the importance of forestry and conservation a review of modern techniques to improve the durability, fire resistance and predictability of structural timber elements and their vital connections analysis of the many architectural and structural options, from roundwood shells through glulam arches and gridshells to long span hybrid structures case studies from around the world illustrating the principles discussed and the true potential of timber construction Historically there has been an imbalance between the availability of information on structural timber design and the much more widespread familiarity with traditional structural materials such as steel and concrete. This book aims to help redress the balance by presenting the essential design principles involved in the creation of elegant, user-friendly timber buildings that are practical, economic, and thoroughly sustainable. Designed to support specialist study into the benefits of 21st Century timber engineering, this book also offers architects, engineers and other construction professionals practical advice on all aspects of modern timber architecture.
