Wooden facades

The book deals with the practical principles of design, construction and implementation of wooden facades and is intended for practitioners, builders and those interested in the construction and reconstruction of facades of family houses and public buildings. The prerequisite for the long-lasting functioning of the wooden facade on the house is the correct choice of material, observance of the principles for the correct execution of the cladding and the subsequent care and maintenance of the facade. All of this information has been compiled by a renowned architect with 25 years of experience and is presented to the reader through numerous examples of detailing, corners, plinths, roof and window connections and their integration in timber facades. The author's practical experience with the construction of wooden houses and facades permeates the entire publication and provides the reader with a critical but also positively inspiring overview of the various practical designs of facades using examples from Germany and neighbouring countries.
