Overview
IGArchitects has completed a residential project in Tokyo, distinguished by its construction from a 'field of structural timber walls'. This architectural design specifically investigated the spatial strength properties associated with timber architecture.
Research Context
The project undertaken by IGArchitects aimed to 'test the spatial strength of timber architecture'. This objective was pursued through a house design that centrally incorporated a configuration described as a 'field of structural walls'.
Approach
The architectural approach involved the construction of a house in Tokyo. This structure was designed and built using a 'field of structural timber walls', a method intended to explore and demonstrate the spatial strength capabilities of timber as a primary building material.
Findings
The outcome is a house in Tokyo that utilizes a 'field of structural timber walls'. This construction demonstrates the application of timber architecture in a manner that addresses its 'spatial strength'.
