The <strong>ultimate renewable resource</strong> for architecture is also our oldest, rich with the evocation of bygone <strong>harmony between human beings and their environment</strong>.<br /><br />For some time pushed to the wayside by steel, concrete, and glass, wood has recently experienced an exciting revival. With the help of <strong>computer-driven design and manufacturing techniques</strong>, this inaugural construction material has been rediscovered and reimagined, crafted into<strong> geometric marvels; smooth shelters; and light, airy interiors</strong>.<br /><br />From <strong>Snøhetta's Norwegian Wild Reindeer Pavilion</strong>, with its CNC-milled timber wall, to beautiful modern homes in Japan, from urban centers to wild and unforgiving landscapes, see how this ancient building matter has come to construct some of the <strong>most innovative and contemporary buildings of today</strong>.</div> <div class="margin-bottom"> </div> <div class="margin-bottom">Text in English, French, and German</div> </div>
