Inhaltsangabe

A thorough and interdisciplinary look at the many aspects of wood construction over the past three hundred years.

The IBOIS Notebooks offer a societal, ecological, cultural, and political look at wood construction. Through the work and critical analyses of authors from various disciplines, these notebooks reveal the structuring, sometimes contradictory, and often underestimated role of timber construction in the architectural evolution of the last three centuries. This biannual editorial project, led by Christophe Catsaros, philosopher, journalist, and architecture critic, and Yves Weinand, architect-engineer and director of the Wood Construction Laboratory (IBOIS) at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), draws the outlines of an original and transdisciplinary account. Going beyond the established distinction between the humanities and applied sciences, the notebooks offer alternative relationships for innovative wood construction. Behind this original and cross-disciplinary panorama—where researchers, builders, and historians question the potential of a material—is the ambition of a radical change, as evidenced both by the research and the achievements of the EPFL’s Wood Construction Laboratory.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Trois auteurs inaugurent cette première édition des cahiers de l'Ibois, l'initiative éditoriale semestrielle issue du laboratoire de l'EPFL consacré à la construction innovante en bois: Françoise Fromonot revient sur l'épopée héroïque de Jørn Utzon et de ce qu'il a vainement tenté de réaliser au moment de la construction de l'opéra de Sydney. Stéphane Berthier offre un panorama assez complet de la place de l'Ibois dans la constellation des laboratoires qui mettent au point des techniques de conception et de fabrication assistées par ordinateur. Quant à Yann Rocher, il s'efforce d'établir les nombreux liens constructifs et symboliques entre le matériau utilisé pour construire le Pavillon en bois du Théâtre de Vidy et sa fonction de lieu scénique.

Three authors are inaugurating this first edition of the Ibois notebooks, the biannual editorial initiative of the EPFL laboratory dedicated to innovative wood construction: Françoise Fromonot revisits the heroic epic of Jørn Utzon and what he tried, and failed, to realise during the construction of the Sydney Opera House. Stéphane Berthier offers a rather complete panorama of the place of the Ibois in the constellation of laboratories developing computer-aided design and manufacturing techniques. As for Yann Rocher, he strives to establish the many constructive and symbolic links between the material used to build the wooden Pavilion of the Théâtre de Vidy and its function as a stage.
