About this book
Advantages of timber constructions
Wood is an extremely versatile building material that has been gaining great popularity in the construction industry for several years. Almost any construction task can be elaborated with skilful utilisation of different wood types in appropriate construction methods. Wood scores particularly well when used in existing buildings. This is because it is comparatively light and easy to prefabricate, meaning that even statically demanding extensions can be built in short time, which is also economically attractive.
The publication Timber Constructions in Existing Contexts, which is part of the renowned Practice DETAIL series, provides architects with the expertise they need to competently meet all the challenges of their next refurbishment project.
