Silver Medal 2013 IPPY I ndependent Publisher Book Award Gold Medal 2013 IBPA Benjamin Franklin Book Award One that can be used to design virtually any conceivable arrangement of complex structural members that one may ever face. The book goes on to thoroughly discuss a very broad variety of design options and joinery details for virtually any situation one may ever confront in constructing complex, joined timber framed roof systems.Ĭhappell presents a complete and comprehensive geometric and mathematical system in this work. Though the subject can be quite complex, the emphasis on developing a strong visual mental image at the outset is strengthened through the use of numerous photographs and illustrations. The focus is on discovering the systems and techniques used to build vernacular medieval timber framed roof systems.īook Two moves into the technical aspects of how to begin the process by first developing the geometric model. Through the proportions of the golden mean, phi and the Fibonacci sequence, metaphors to music and the jazz of timber framing, Chappell begins to develop a template that includes both sound and harmonic resonance as fundamental aspects of the design medium.Ĭhappell then goes on to explore the early development and history of timber framed roof systems from the 12th century Stave Churches to the medieval Tithe Barns and Market halls of Europe, and the ancient Pagodas of China and Japan. In this section, Chappell draws parallels between the significance of proper design proportions, harmonics and the feel that resonates between these elements and the craftsman's touch. The work is divided into two parts, Book One: Design & History, and Book Two: Geometry & Joinery Systems.īook One begins with a chapter titled, The Elements of Design. The information contained in the book is equally accessible to both the novice looking to build their own timber frame, and to the Architect or Engineer looking for the latest technical information on this ever popular and ancient structural building system.Joinery, Design & Construction of Timber Frame Roof Systemsĭrawn from over 35 years of experience building and teaching advanced timber framing, this book combines both the nuance you would expect, and also a broad overview of the history of compound timber frame joinery. This revised edition has over 500 photos and drawings, with updated and expanded chapters on engineering criteria for pegged wooden joinery and much, much more. It would also make a valuable addition to Community, College and University libraries, as well as University engineering and architectural departments.

Chappell presents a complete and comprehensive geometric and mathematical system in this work. Using geometry & math, mixed with harmonics & musical overtones, this is the most complete work ever on the art & design of compound timber frame joinery. Beginning with the history and elements of natural design, he unfolds the process of designing & building joined hip & valley timber frame roof systems from the design & theory through layout & execution. In ADVANCED Timber Framing: Joinery, Design & Construction of Timber Frame Roof Systems, Chappell presents a comprehensive treatise on the history & construction of compound timber frame roof systems.
