Swedish Architecture in Wood: The 2004 Timber Prize

Imagine a towering wooden ship sailing through the clear blue of the Northern sky: that's Universeum, a science museum in Gothenburg, Sweden, designed by Wingordh Arkitektkontor, winner of the 2004 Timber Prize for building with wood. This book gives equal attention to all top ten nominees for the prize, includes single-family homes, apartment buildings, museums, the visitor center in a national park and student housing. Accompanying each project are photos of the exteriors and interiors, floorplans and descriptions by the architects themselves.
