In structural terms reciprocal frame structures are 'three
dimensional assemblies of mutually supporting beams'. But behind
this definition lie some breathtakingly beautiful and complex
structures at the heart of buildings both ancient and modern. This
new book explores the principles of these apparently simple
structures and demonstrates how they can be used in the context of
a modern building. Starting with historic designs by de Honnecourt,
Da Vinci and Serlio, the book presents the wealth of possible RF
morphologies, and investigates the geometrical, structural and
practical design issues of reciprocal frames. The case studies look
at stunning examples of reciprocal frame architecture that range
from low environmental impact buildings and self built examples in
the UK and USA, to the fascinating and elegant structures of the
Puppet Theatre in Seiwa, Tokyo's Spinning House, Sukiya -Yu house,
The Toyoson Stonemason museum and the Life Sciences Laboratory -
Torikabuto in Japan. The book is designed to inform and inspire
architects and structural engineers alike, and brings to life a
structural system whose principles have been used for thousands of
years.
