Research on Proposal and Practice of Craft Timber House Construction Technology

Abstract

Craft wooden architecture” is a house anyone can work and construct them using only materials available at home centers. The aim of this project is to create a demand for timber that cannot be covered by the medium- and large-scale wooden buildings that recently increasing in Japan. In this study, as a first step to verify the construction of craft wooden architecture, we built a smallscale wooden sauna hut by ourselves. Through the design and construction of the sauna hut, the technical points to be considered when building a craft wooden architecture were summarized.
