{"product_id":"forest-first","title":"Forest First","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow might we design and build in a non-extractive manner?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo address that question this book considers a recursive relationship between forests and timber building. It puts the forest first and offers a detailed immersion into forest history, forest stand dynamics, forest ecology, forest-building carbon dynamics, and possible future forest trajectories as the pretext for thinking about timber technics. The specificity of regional forests suggests much about the prospect of non-extractive building design: building that tends and mends its terrestrial basis rather than takes, makes, and breaks it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding activity can augment and improve forest conditions as an instance of regenerative design and as a path towards reconciliation, but only if conceived and practiced in ways distinct from normative design and construction practices. The future should no longer be a colony of present design practices that treat building as an art and science of extraction. By putting the forest first its conception of timber building technics, this book develops a more regenerative approach to the terrestrial relations of forest-building.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"search-metadata\"\u003eTimber Building Kiel Moe 9781638402015\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hochparterre Bücher","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53181972578632,"sku":"9781638402015","price":49.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/0255\/9816\/files\/forest-first-cover.jpg?v=1779811735","url":"https:\/\/www.hochparterre-buecher.ch\/en\/products\/forest-first","provider":"Hochparterre Bücher","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
