The Open Timber Construction System: Various Structural Techniques and Architectural Designs
The purpose of this book is to provide a competi- tive and realistic production method that responds to the differing needs of various situations and to the requirements of different clients. The system allows buildings to be designed and realised with the use of industrially manufactured components from various suppliers both separately and jointly.
The development process and its results have also attracted international interest. Consequently, it has been concluded that an international version of this guide is needed. The guide describes a timber construction procedure, which plays a fundamental role within the overall open timber construction system, as it stands in its current level of development. The aim of the guide is to describe and explain the system and illustrate its potential within architectural design.
The guide is based on a system that is currently being used in Finland and on Finnish building regulations in general. However, in parts, the guide has deviated from these and therefore it has had to generalise certain issues. It has seemed inappropriate to suggest the use of the Finnish building regulations, as such, within the international context, although the basic ordering principle of the guide, of initially describing the restrictions concerning build- ings of different sizes and then offering various solutions to these, still appears useful. A short study of the theory concerning the building system more broadly has also been added at the begin- ning of the guide. The theory was originally devised for the use of industry in order to facilitate the understanding of the system and to order and control its further development.
