The new SWG Schraubenwerk Gaisbach production hall blazes new trails in timber construction. Its architecture sets new standards in hardwood use and probes the limits of this forward-looking renewable building material in a novel way. Slender trusses give the factory building a delicate look as powerful supports absorb immense loads. Every detail of the building is a testament to innovation in craftsmanship and engineering. The interplay of these factors culminates in a ground-breaking building that harmonises efficient floor plans, a pleasant atmosphere, and sustainable construction in line with corporate identity. The fastener production hall demonstrates the potential of wood in industrial construction. This book features comprehensive documentation of the project from various perspectives, including in-depth specialist and technical insights.

Wood is the building material of the 21st century. Understanding this material and its potential requires us to recognize its ecological, technological and cultural-historical contexts. Touch Wood explores this potential, with inspiring examples―both practical and visionary―from the US, Japan, Austria, Norway, Switzerland and elsewhere. Aimed at an engaged audience of both experts and laypersons who aspire to enrich their experiences with knowledge and thus become actors in the promotion of wood in architecture, this book documents various exemplary buildings in accessible texts and with numerous illustrations. Touch Wood also illuminates the many relationships that connect people with wood as a material. Authors from various disciplines supply a framework in which wood can be experienced sensually and its possibilities and limitations can be discussed.

Wood holds unique and timely lessons for urbanization, yet it remains inadequately characterized in architecture, landscape architecture, and urbanism. From under-considered thermal properties to emerging manufacturing possibilities, from changing forestry regimes to larger carbon cycle dynamics, Wood Urbanism explores the unique material and scalar properties of wood, presenting it as a critical material for design today. It brings into conversation scholars and practitioners who focus on wood from a range of perspectives: from the working forest to the mid-rise building to the basic cell. Drawing from the inherent intelligence and depth of multiple disciplines, this book offers a transcalar perspective on the role of wood in contemporary urbanization: from the imperceptibly small to the confoundingly large.
