Wood architecture now! - Philip Jodidio

Modern wood architecture from Tierra del Fuego to North Cape

Wood is renewable and sustainable, solid and attractive.
Wood can be bent and shaped to the most modern of designs. It is the
material of the moment for contemporary architecture and this new volume
allows readers to get a glimpse of the most exciting and dynamic new uses of wood in architecture from all over the world.
Like earthen architecture, the use of wood is almost as ancient as
building itself. The columns of Greek temples are stylized trees.
Today's wooden buildings do all kinds of surprising things, and most of
all, they are as "green" as they come.
