Description
This book is about the Swedish Architecture in Wood competition. The competition is one of the greatest honors for Swedish architects. The latest competition drew more than 200 entries. The book features the eleven top nominees. Projects include 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, of course, but all are stunning designs, and all use wood in an innovative and inspiring way.
