Wood : Vandkunsten Architects

Beskrivelse

This book showcases nine recent wood-based projects by the acclaimed Danish firm Vandkunsten Architects, who have influenced the modern use of wood in Nordic architecture for over fifty years.

Exploring the innovative and sustainable use of wood in contemporary Nordic architecture.

Featured projects include the adaptable housing at Lisbjerg Bakke, the Arctic House in Greenland, and Senior Cohousing at Diakonissestiftelsen.

Wood stands out as a smart choice in the face of the climate crisis, but its appeal goes beyond that. As a living material, wood shares a unique connection with the human body. Advances in technology have transformed this traditionally low-tech material into one of the most digitalized and energy-efficient building options available.

Thanks to wood’s natural qualities, it supports healthy indoor environments, requires minimal upkeep on the outside, and creates spaces designed for joyful living.
