Exploring the Strength and Beauty of Wood Joinery
The Timber Pergola project is a study of timber joineries, which explores the use of linear and square shapes with 90-degree angles in the horizontal direction and a 12-degree joint to create a tension structure in the vertical direction. The project is inspired by the Forests of Venice pavilion by Swedish firms Kjellander + Sjöberg and Folkhem and by the Prostho Museum Research Center by Kengo Kuma & Associates
The main joint of the project is the male and female joint, which involves cutting a groove or slot (the female part) into one piece of wood and a corresponding protrusion (the male part) on the other piece of wood to be fitted into the groove. This joint is commonly used in woodworking to create strong and stable connections between pieces of wood.
The project is designed to be a suspended or supported outdoor roof (pergola) that can be held by pillars. The tension structure created by the 12-degree joint allows the addition of a structure that can hold plants or any other peace the user wants. This creates an open and airy structure that is perfect for outdoor spaces.
The use of timber joineries not only creates a beautiful and unique design, but it also demonstrates the strength and versatility of wood as a building material. The project is an opportunity to learn about different types of joineries and how they can be used to create structures that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Overall, this wood project is a celebration of the beauty and versatility of timber joineries. It is a study of the male and female joint, exploring how it can be used to create a modular structure and a stunning outdoor roof.
