Wooden Skeleton Structures
Architectural and structural design using exposed or primary wooden frameworks as the organizing principle.
Wooden skeleton structures form the basis of architectural systems where timber framing becomes both functional support and visual expression. This approach ranges from traditional building methods to contemporary interpretations, often emphasizing the material's inherent qualities and craft.
The community explores how wooden frameworks adapt to diverse contexts: stacked blocks in landscape settings, modular systems for flexible spaces, rural community buildings that integrate local craftsmanship, and adaptive reuse of industrial sites. Projects examine timber's role in sustainable design and its capacity to define spatial and structural identity.
