Produktbeschreibung
The Sky Timber project was begun in 2013 at the National University of Singapore to understand the feasibility of modern timber construction in Asia today. Although many Asian cities once saw thriving timber construction, rapid urbanisation has replaced it with concrete boxes, resulting in a generic cityscape and shift away from traditional culture. One of the greatest problems facing reactivating timber construction in Asia is the relatively low percentage of forestry development, compared with Scandinavia or North America. This book features student research and projects to design modern and culturally relevant timber buildings through technologically advanced architecture.
