Focusing on wooden architecture, this issue features built works from
around the globe, plus two competitions that foresee further integration
of timber in cities and urban landscapes. Three essays by Werner Sobek,
Matti Kuittinen and Michael Green discuss different aspects of modern
wood construction, including adapting timber structures to
ultra-lightweight designs, harmonising joints of prefab wooden elements
and tall wood building technology. Among the works profiled are the
Royal Belgian Sailing Club by Wim Goes, Bears’ House in the Woods by
Patrick Thurston, Brockholes Visitor Centre by Adam Khan, the Wooden
City in Kouvola, Finland, and a floating school in Nigeria.
