The book 'Vandkunsten Wood' features nine recent wood-based projects by renowned Danish architecture studio Vandkunsten Architects who have shaped the contemporary use of wood in Nordic architecture over five decades.

Wood is simply a clever material in a climate crisis – but that is not it – wood is a living material and so are we, and there is a special relationship between the human body and the material. While technological developments make this low-tech material the most digitalized and energy efficient to build with, wood’s naturally smart properties offer healthy interiors, low-maintenance exteriors, and spaces for happy lives?

Projects include the flexible housing at Lisbjerg Bakke, the Arctic House in Greenland, and Senior Cohousing at Diakonissestiftelsen.
