Building with Vision - Optimizing and Finding Alternatives to Wood

This is a companion volume to the excellent book on packaging but one with less immediate application as most readers will not be in the process of building a house. However, the principles are sound in that they are aimed at minimising the use of wood from unsustainable forestries. In the US, in contrast with Europe, 90% of the 1.5 million houses built annually are clad in wood.
