Description: "Timber construction, which has a tradition going back centuries, has experienced a renaissance during the past few years. As clients, planners and even legislators develop a greater sensibility for ecological issues, timber is reasserting itself as a building material. The use of new timber construction materials and the stricter requirements on structures set out in the Ordinance on Energy Saving have completely changed the face of timber construction over the last few years. The present volume is designed to give readers an overview of modern timber construction and its products"--Inside front cover.
