Showcasing the award-winning Austrian architect and the renowned wood-building tradition of his homeland, this volume presents 18 wooden structures masterminded by Hermann Kaufmann, ranging
from farms and industrial edifices to community centers and restored monasteries. Each building promotes energy economy, ecological sustainability, a connection with harmonious forms, and fine
workmanship. Offering a fresh look at a personality who was an innovator and an upholder of tradition, this monograph features a variety of photographs and illustrations, exploring sites such
as the Zerlauth House, the Elma Alp Vacation Home, the Metzler Timber Warehouse and Offices, and the M羹hlweg apartment block in Vienna. An essay by Otto Kapfinger that describes the fundamental
premises of Kaufmann's designs is also included. This guide is available in both English and Finnish editions.
