Wood: Art design architecture showcases 28 outstanding projects by contemporary Australian artists, designers and architects. It represents a cross-section of current creative practices and relationships to this versatile, natural material. Commissioned essays and thoughtful insights into each project highlight the significance of wood in our lives today. The book represents a sample of existing creatives, modes of thinking, and relationships to this fundamental material and combines furniture and functional objects, sculptural works (including wood carving by Indigenous artists), interiors and architectural work. It looks at the use of wood through three lenses; place and identity, sustainability and ecology, craftsmanship and technology.
