A fascinating, visually rich collection, Wood explores the beauty of this versatile material through 170 structures from the last 1,000 years. Organized into themes such as Texture, Juxtaposition, and Light, this inspiring and informative resource highlights the material's range and unique qualities, pairing engaging text with stunning photographs of cabins, churches, monuments, cultural spaces, and other projects from some of the world's leading architects, including Le Corbusier, Renzo Piano, and Greene & Greene. Also included are equally striking and memorable projects by such contemporary architects as Peter Zumthor, Sou Fujimoto and Snøhetta.
