The IBOIS Notebooks provide a comprehensive and interdisciplinary exploration of the diverse facets of wood construction over the past three hundred years. These notebooks delve into the societal, ecological, cultural, and political dimensions of wood construction, shedding light on the intricate role that timber construction has played in the architectural evolution of the past three centuries. Under the guidance of Christophe Catsaros, a philosopher, journalist, and architecture critic, and Yves Weinand, an architect-engineer and director of the Wood Construction Laboratory (IBOIS) at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), this biannual editorial project emerges as an original and transdisciplinary account.
By transcending the conventional boundaries between the humanities and applied sciences, the notebooks offer alternative perspectives on innovative wood construction. At the heart of this innovative and cross-disciplinary panorama, researchers, builders, and historians engage in critical questioning of the potential of a material, seeking to redefine its boundaries and unlock new possibilities. This pursuit is evident in both the research endeavors of the EPFL's Wood Construction Laboratory and the remarkable achievements it has achieved.
The IBOIS Notebooks serve as a valuable resource for scholars, architects, engineers, and anyone interested in the history, technology, and sustainability of wood construction. Through their insightful contributions and critical analyses, these notebooks contribute to a deeper understanding of the multifaceted aspects of wood as a building material and its potential for shaping the future of architecture and construction.
