320 pages, Français, Anglais

The second Ibois Notebook focuses its reflections on the Grand-Chalet station project in Rossinière. Christophe Catsaros and Tadashi Ono carry out a landscape analysis in text and image around the idea of a revival of the alpine vernacular. Isabel Concheiro initiates an overview of innovative wooden housing practices in Switzerland. Yann Rocher probes the intrinsic link between the forest element and Patrick Bouchain’s wooden theaters. Antoine Picon questions the place of the constructive system in an industry attached to the splendor of the figure at the expense of an intuitively perceptible constructive efficiency. Finally, Jean-Pierre Neff, Mayor of the commune of Rossinière, and Yves Weinand sketch out the hypothesis of a rebirth of the wood industry from a new building for the forestry services of the Pays-d’Enhaut.
