Non-Destructively Disassembling a Timber Framed House
Just wonderful. Thank you for this.
It’s worth noting that the demountable nature of Japanese timberframe joinery extends to the original construction workflow. The original joinery work happens at the carpenter’s workshop, and only the assembly happens on site. So in some sense, what Iwakuni’s team is doing is an extension of that original workflow, they’re taking the building timbers from another structure rather than from their workshop.
