  • Beskrivelse

    "Some books are so beautifully produced and contain such
    superb images that even before one starts reading they have an
    entrancing quality that makes ownership essential. For anyone interested
    in design, architecture, cultures or travel [this book] is just such a
    volume . . . captivating.” ?TES

    Many of the world’s
    greatest buildings are made of wood, yet it is undervalued or ignored in
    histories of architecture. However, leading designers around the world
    are increasingly drawn to it to satisfy social and environmental needs.

    Will
    Pryce is an award-winning photographer who trained as an architect and
    photojournalist. Intensely dramatic but not overdramatized, technically
    flawless but not merely documentary, his internationally acclaimed
    photographs convey all the excitement of encountering these amazing
    structures firsthand.

    He has traveled the world seeking the famous
    and the obscure. In the text he shows how the wooden heritage of Japan
    grew from its Buddhist history; how Russia’s carpenters determined its
    iconic domes; how Norway’s stave churches contain clues to her pagan
    past; how Turkic tribes brought the yali from Asia; how the settlers of
    New England employed a provincial English tradition on the new
    continent; and how, today, sophisticated architects such as Peter
    Zumthor and Renzo Piano are inventing an eloquent new wooden
    architecture.

David A. Garcia

This publication emerges from ‘Architecture and Extreme Environments’, a master’s programme at the Royal Danish Academy that aims to generate a positive impact on the issues our world faces today. Through a site-specific approach, the programme responds to present and future global challenges through research by design, fine-tuned and site-specific strategies, and active fieldwork in remote locations around the world. The book compiles fieldwork investigations, personal and student work, reflective, methodical and personal essays and finally a summary of the MAP Publication issues to date. A selection of these MAP publications will also be reissued and independently available alongside the book.
