Le log cabin, ou cabane de rondins, originaire d'Amérique du Nord, est sans doute, du fait de sa simplicité et sa flexibilité, une des constructions les plus largement reproduites dans le monde entier. Mais le principal intérêt de cette construction, faite à partir de l'empilage et de l'assemblage de troncs d'arbres, est sa relation étroite avec la création de la culture étatsunienne. La première partie, qui consiste en un voyage aux origines de la cabane en suivant les premiers colonisateurs européens dans leur aventure à travers le territoire américain, analyse de façon claire et précise la forme, les matériaux et le processus constructif de cette typologie architecturale. La seconde partie présente une sélection de projets récents, conçus par des architectes et des designers du monde entier, qui montrent les différentes interprétations faites de cet élément emblématique de la culture américaine et son formidable potentiel à contribuer à la création d'ouvrages contemporains.
