DESCRIPTION

A study of Japanese traditional architecture with a modern western interpretation of it. In this project our studio wanted to learn a bit more about the structure, composition principles of traditional Japanese houses. The project uses the same measurement system of tatami mats which was used by architects and craftsmen in Japan. The roof structure is a study of developable surfaces – curvilinear surfaces which are made from straight segments combined with curvilinear beams. All the woodworking was supposed to use traditional joints. This case study was made not only as a 3 dimensional model but also as a physical model study.
