This theory work aims to dive into, derive and understand traditional, wooden Japanese architecture. Both Norway and Japan have long and rich traditions of wooden architecture. As Norwegian architecture students, we felt a desire to learn more about our own wooden building tradition, and at the same time explore the sensible, Japanese approach to tectonics. Through literature, case studies and a study trip to Japan, we increased our insight and knowledge about the understanding of space, architectural ideas, building techniques and detailing. One of the case studies is the Minka of the Tsunashima family. The traditional, rural farmhouse features a beautiful wooden post and beam construction with its joinery, a thatched roof, a large earthen work floor and elegant sequences of wooden floored rooms. Together with Jenny Fausa Torvik. The theory work lead to four booklets, which can be found at the bottom of this page.
