The worldwide booming timber construction sector and its rapid development beyond the limits of
high-rise buildings demands high-performance materials which are made possible by hardwood.
Innovative production methods and manufacturing processes create economically competitive
products that open up completely new possibilities for the construction sector - thanks to an
almost forgotten building material. For it was not without reason that construction sector used
predominantly hardwood until the 18th century. Building with hardwood focuses on its use in the
supporting structure. The publication provides specialist knowledge for the safe handling of
hardwood in building construction and shows successful examples of architecture from practice
for practice.
