Research - Architecture In Wood

There were a few books in the library about the architecture in wood but most of them were about modern architecture which is of no use to me. 
I found the book by Will Pryce which is SO SO USEFUL.
It's mainly photographs of very interesting buildings from around the world, old and new.


I love the detail and the structure on some of them so it will definitely pop up somewhere in my work.

When looking at the different buildings I tried not to look at the overall look because more often than not you can tell where abouts from the world the huts are. I looked into the detail and tried to pick out the little things I found useful and photographed them for a reference.

I loved the way that some structures were bound. Some were tied together, some were tactically cut in places and placed in ways to support each other.

Another useful thing that popped up were the interiors which are always great to keep for a future reference.

In some of them I liked the unusual shapes and clever use of supports.

I also found some useful drawings with explained support for the roofs etc. which is something ive been looking into earlier. I think if I use proper supports and layouts it will make the houses more believable.
