Description

This work uses plans, schematic drawings, and pictures to show technology as applied in Switzerland, a leading country in the field of timber construction.

It is a comprehensive, analytical, and visually organised publication, from the simple single-storey family house to the large scale multi-storey structure. It includes the building envelope, which is so important for saving energy, and systems for ceilings and interior dividing walls, essential from the vantage point of construction.
