This superbly illustrated volume is a showcase for the very best in Swedish wooden architecture from the last four years - including the winner of the prestigious 2008 Timber Prize.The projects featured range from a cowshed, a riding school, and an exhibition gallery to an apartment block, and a single-family housing development - but they all have something in common, they all use wood as a defining feature and are of an exemplary architectural standard.Each featured project is accompanied by detailed descriptions and drawings from the architects themselves, as well as stunning full-colour photographs of the finished article.For students and practitioners alike, this volume will be a source of remarkable inspiration.
