About

About the course

Course content

The course is based on the course TBBY1014 introduction to rod constructions. Through own work and / or collaboration in a group with guidance, the student will gain experience of going deeper into narrower topics within traditional rod constructions.

The teaching is collection-based and often linked to specific projects that are relevant. We can consider some of the different parts of stave constructions, such as more complicated roof constructions, or we can focus on specific local building traditions. Roofing and groundwork are also included here. Relevant restoration projects can be included as part of the course.
