Wood Houses
While wood has been used in construction for thousands of years, researchers are still developing innovative systems to strengthen the role of wood as a sustainable material. Wood Houses documents wood used in residential building with profiles of houses, illustrated with the architect's own plans as well as hundreds of full-color interior and exterior photos. Inside are over fifty examples of cutting-edge architectural design that challenges previous conceptions about the use of wood in construction and shows how truly modern the medium can be in the hands of the world's greatest architects. Split into three categories (wood homes, wood construction, and tree houses), Wood Houses also includes a detailed look at wood furniture as well as a glossary that explains the different types of wood and their qualities.

Urban Landscapes
This monograph is much more than a compendium of architectural projects - it is the exposition of the new concept of 'rurban' space, one which combines rural and urban characteristics.
City as Loft
"It's always about each specific location, the people, and a vision. This is the message distilled from these portraits of 30 reused industrial areas. In a wide variety of places all round the globe, reinterpretations of the legacy of the industrial age are releasing tremendous potential energy and creativity - in the USA, Russia, Brazil and China just as much as in Europe. The book examines the background, protagonists and concepts involved and shows various strategies for reuse. In essays and interviews, specialists from both the theoretical and practical fields explain their findings and experiences. Dutch book designer Joost Grootens, well known for his self-explanatory 'infographics', has given the 30 projects a visual form allowing fascinating comparisons."--Publisher description.
