Abstract

This thesis analyzes the proficiencies of light-frame wood construction and compares it to the craftsmanship of traditional Japanese carpentry. The goal of this research was to bridge the gap between these two construction styles and create an adaptation in search of a new solution to light-frame wood construction. That adaptation is then applied to a single-family residential project to refine its process and analyze its strengths and weaknesses.
