The Application Of Wood In Modern Architecture In China

Wood, a everlasting material used in architecture; environmental protection, a world-wide trend. Timber is widely used in developed countries' buildings because this material is extensively applied with the characteristic on the construction and the value on the esthetics. Now we have a long distance in the modern application with wooden structure compared to developed countries. There are still many limitations, for instance, the cognition of the material, choice with process, wooden construction technique, design method with wood and technique norm, etc.The thesis thoroughly analysis the situation of application of wood in china, reveal potentials of timber construction in modern architecture. I hope the thesis can attracts more interest of industry insiders about modern timber construction, and causes study and research much deeper and wider. Then Chinese architecture can be more diversity, individualized and humanized.The thesis consists of four parts:Chapter 1 mainly studies the research background, explains relative concepts, set up the premise.Chapter 2 defines the concept, characteristics, contexts of usage and details of wood in modern architecture, and its technological innovation and development.Chapter 3 and 4 focus on the situation of application of wood in modern architecture in china, analyze the causes, and compare with successful examples in developed countries, weigh advantages and disadvantages.Chapter 5 enunciates application systems and prospects of timber construction in China., enunciates the ecological dimensions and social significance of wood combined with architectural ecology...
