Includes bibliographical references."Triangle Modern Architecture' documents the rich history and unique cultural significance of the Triangle region in North Carolina, which is one of the most important on the national map of modern design. Over the last 75 years, the architecture in this area has grown to creatively combine innovation and technology with the area's history, culture, unique landscape, and built context. While the Triangle has seen an increased interest in Modern architecture, the understanding of this design and the reasons and history behind it have not been shared in a clear and meaningful way. There is an information gap between what is appreciated by architects and by the general public."--Page 4 of cover.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 258-259) and index.The making of a timber framer -- An intimacy with wood -- History of the craft in America -- Reading an old building -- Hand tools -- Design, architecture & geometry -- Why timber framing is relevant today.Hand Hewn is a gorgeous celebration of the traditions and artistry of timber-frame building, a 7,000-year-old craft that holds an enduring attraction for its simple elegance and resilience. Internationally renowned timber-frame architect and craftsman Jack A. Sobon offers a fascinating look at how the natural, organic forms of trees become the framework for a home, with profiles of the classic tools he uses to hand hew and shape each timber, and explanations of the engineering of the wooden joinery that connects the timbers without a single nail. Inspiring photos of Sobons original interior home designs, as well as historical examples of long-lived structures in Europe and North America, make this a compelling tribute to the lasting value of artisanal craftsmanship and a thoughtful, deliberate approach to designing buildings.
