A quiet revolution has been taking place in Scotland's architecture. Wood is once again to the fore in construction and has established a strong contemporary presence in the nation's built environment. Many different building types now unashamedly sport their timber credentials and not only on a domestic scale - whether on fire stations or offices, multi-storey car parks or medical centres, wood is now definitely seen to be good. New Timber Architecture in Scotland illustrates 90 exemplar projects and demonstrates clearly that there is no single building type unsuited to the use of this adaptable, variable and infinitely renewable material. Too long out of fashion, timber is now widely specified and has become an important design element in some of the most innovative projects being built today. The projects selected for inclusion are not the work of a few superstar architects: they represent the output of a significant percentage of architectural practices in Scotland and illustrate a burgeoning confidence in timber as an exciting, contemporary construction material. New Timber Architecture in Scotland aims to stimulate others to follow their lead.

Review:
Beyond Cladding Reviewer: Adrian Welch This is a great book. Its premise is good. Its breadth of coverage is good. Its presentation is good and, most important of all, its ethical values are good. The range of work in the book is superb and clearly a huge amount of Scotland s architects are already excited about the challenge of designing with wood. --e-architect
