Summary: From the Jacket - " Many of the world's greatest buildings are made of wood. It is a material that has unique qualities of form, colour and structure, yet it is invariable undervalued or ignored in histories of architecture. Mankind's first building material has fathered many of our architectural styes and has remained in constant use, yet its enormous contribution remains largely hidden. Despite its anonymity, wood is finally beginning to get the recognition it deserves. Leading designers around the world are increasingly drawn to it to satisfy needs both social and environment."
