This selection shows the foremost achievements of Swedish wooden architecture in the past four years. They comprise a cowshed, a riding school, an apartment block, a single-family housing development, an exhibition gallery, a school, three detached houses and two weekend cottages. Buildings differing in size, type and use, but with the common denominator of all confirming to a high architectural standard with wood playing a decisive part. Architecture in Wood is profusely illustrated by photographer Åke E:son Lindman. The descriptions and drawings are by the architects themselves. A beautiful and finely crafted work of documentation, in equal measure informative and inspiring.
