A growing awareness of existing building materials and timber constructions is reflected in the new relevance historical and simple construction techniques have gained today. Wood is increasingly being used in construction and sustainable products, as wooden joints without nails or glue inspire thinking about material life cycles and repair. Over 400 handcrafted wood joints from all over the world are collected in this easy-to-understand overview. Besides details on its history and application, each joint is presented in drawings, descriptions, and step-by-step instructions for manufacture. Multi-lingual terminology and an illustrated glossary allow comparison of design processes.
