Wood, by William Hall, is an international survey of wooden architecture, published by Phaidon. Like his previous books—Concrete and Brick—it has an embossed dust jacket, full-page photographs with extended captions, and chapters themed according to concepts such as form, light, and scale.
The book includes buildings dating from the Middle Ages, though the emphasis is on modern and contemporary architecture. Most of the 170 examples are wooden structures, though there are a few exceptions, including some bamboo buildings and wooden facades.
Architecture in Wood is more comprehensive than Wood, though its photographs were all taken by its author, Will Pryce. Hall’s book, on the other hand, features images from various sources. Wood, by Bryan Sentance, is a guide to wood as a medium for art, craft, and design.
