Author: Michael Green, Jim Taggart
Tall wood buildings have been at the foreground of innovative building practice in urban contexts for a number of years. This publication explains the typical construction types such as panel systems, frame and hybrid systems. An international selection of 17 case studies is documented in detail with construction drawings, demonstrating the range of the technology. For this third, expanded edition, a new chapter has been added as well as eight cutting-edge projects. From London to Stockholm, from Vancouver to Melbourne timber buildings of up to 20 storeys have been built, are under construction or being considered. This dynamic trend was enabled by developments in the material itself, prefabrication and more flexibility in fire regulations. The low CO2 footprint of wood - often regionally sourced - is another strong argument in its favour. The authors, Michael Green and Jim Taggart, are experts with broad experience in timber construction
ISBN 9783035628326. Birkhauser Verlag. hb. 264 pages. 120 b/w, 250 colour, 120 monochrome ills. 28 x 22 cm.
