Advancing Wood Architecture

Zusatztext "This remarkable book showcases what architects could create with wood today using the latest computational design and robotic fabrication technologies. It features innovative wood architecture designed - and made - by four leading research groups in Europe. Rethinking wood from a computational perspective! they point to a variety of new ways in which this humble yet incredible material could be used in contemporary architecture." - Branko Kolarevic!
