Between the mark and the cut

The project begins with the elaboration of a single wooden joinery detail for a temple pavilion. A singular joint study became the basis for an interrelated series of elaborated joints forming a structural whole. A detailed model of a single structural bay was produced. The purpose of this model was to investigate the subtleties of its overall formal expression. Attention was given to both the hidden internal complexity of individual parts and the interconnections between parts. Knowledge of stereotomy was an important consideration ensuring precision in the marking and cutting of the poplar wood. Photographs, sketches and drawings accompany the making of the model as way to further its realization.
