Wood Is The Interest of Architects
It caters the interest of architects around the world, with follies, very big buildings, and ambitious urban restoration initiatives. We can see how wood can both change urban places, as in Jurgen Mayer H.'s Metropol Parasol in Seville, and allow for delicate interventions in natural surroundings, as in German del Sol's Term as Geometric as Hot Springs Complex in Pucon, Chile.
The book pays honor to numerous new worldwide talents as well as recognized luminaries such as Tadao Ando and Renzo Piano, as do all TASCHEN
architecture books. It honors' each architect's creativity and vision while
also delving into the techniques, trends, and concepts that have influenced
their woodwork. It looks at computer-guided milling, which has allowed for
imaginative new forms, responsible harvesting, which allows wood to fit with
our environmental concerns, and, above all, wood's enduring appeal to our
senses and psychology, which brings a sense of Arcadian simplicity to our
frenetic modern lives.
