Summary

Our second issue of the 2015 EXARC Journal is now published online. It contains 10 articles of which three are Mixed Matters (open access), and seven are Peer-Reviewed. Several of the articles stem from a new themed Issue. This is about Craft and Skills in the OpenArch Project. More articles will follow in the course of 2015. In the present Issue of the EXARC Journal we publish the last article in our series about wooden construction from the Aarhus conference 1987. A long process of collecting, correcting and editing these 30 years old articles has now come to a successful end.
