Following his seminal book Wood and Wood Joints, an essential reference on solid timber constructions for more than two decades, now in its third edition, Klaus Zwerger presents a study of the cultural history, construction and typology of a special building type: cereal drying racks. These structures were used to dry harvested crops in agrarian cultures all over the world and evolved over the centuries into buildings of great beauty that are as sophisticated and individual as they are functionally efficient.
On countless expeditions, the author tracked down the remaining buildings, documenting and analyzing them in the context of their cultural and building history through detailed descriptions, line drawings and photographs, rendered in duotone, by the author.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Following his seminal book Wood and Wood Joints, an essential reference on solid timber constructions for more than two decades, now in its third edition, Klaus Zwerger presents a study of the cultural history, construction and typology of a special building type: cereal drying racks. These structures were used to dry harvested crops in agrarian cultures all over the world and evolved over the centuries into buildings of great beauty that are as sophisticated and individual as they are functionally efficient. On countless expeditions, the author tracked down the remaining buildings, documenting and analyzing them in the context of their cultural and building history through detailed descriptions, line drawings and photographs, rendered in duotone, by the author. ; Anschließend an sein Buch Das Holz und seine Verbindungen, das seit mehr als 20 Jahren ein Grundlagenwerk für den reinen Holzbau darstellt und in der 3. Auflage vorliegt, widmet sich Klaus Zwerger hier der Geschichte, Konstruktion und Typologie eines besonderen Bautyps: Die Getreideharfen dienten in den agrarischen Kulturen vieler Länder und Kontinente zum Trocknen des geschnittenen Getreides. Über Jahrhunderte bildeten sich ebenso ausgereifte wie individuelle Bauten von großer Schönheit in ihrer funktionalen Effizienz heraus. Auf zahllosen Reisen hat der Autor die heute noch erhaltenen Bauten aufgespürt. In detaillierten Beschreibungen, eingebettet in bau- und kulturgeschichtliche Zusammenhänge, kommen sie ebenso zur Geltung wie in den in Duoton wiedergegebenen Schwarzweißfotografien und Strichzeichnungen.
