Reviews

The nearly forgotten art of timber-frame construction is again flourishing, due largely to the interest of designer-builders like Benson and, ironically, to the general availability of high-tech building materials such as stress-skin panels used to envelope the skeleton. Benson integrates a revere nce for the beauty and integrity of this ancient building craft with an appreciation (and explication) of contemporary building concepts that make the timber-frame a feasible alternative to the normal stud-frame house. This handsome book, with line drawings and photos amplifying the text, is recommended for collections serving architects, designer-builders, and those with an interest in contemporary building arts.
