Heavy Timber Structures synopsis

In the triumvirate of structural construction prevailing materialawood, minerals, and masonryaeach have its advantages, but nothing intertwined with the human soul like wood. Thirty-five buildings show how the heavy wood frame can deal with familiar programmatic issues such as structure, economics, aesthetics, and sustainability.

Wood framing can also have a positive impact on human emotions and physiology. In addition to being warm to touch, the interior design of wood has been widely proven to lower blood pressure, heart rate and accelerate recovery in health care facilities.

More than 450 images, plans and charts illustrate how to design solid wood frames to dark panels and laminated logs for durability and expression. The projects clearly demonstrate what it means not only to form buildings, but how to form them for us..
