I just finished building a small greenhouse that I plan to use for plant starting in the spring.  I think I overbuilt it a bit, but I was concerned about the snow buildup this winter. I started with a frame of pressure treated 4 x 4s and beveled them on the end because I plan to drag the greenhouse to another location next summer when I’m done with it.

Cuando una pareja de arquitectos tiene hijos pequeños, siempre llega el día en que éstos preguntan: -    Papá, mamá,... ¿Vosotros sois arquitectos, verdad? -    Sí... -    ¿Y hacéis casas a la gente? -    Si, claro... Y entonces viene la pregunta trampa: -¿Y por qué no nos hacéis una casita a nosotros?

The house at 3716 Springfield is one of the most unusual spec houses in the United States. At 2,640 square feet, it is not particularly large or imposing. But in the midst of the sedate environs of Kansas City, Kan., its contemporary lines are startling—it looks like a rendering that has been magically Photoshopped onto its site. And, unlike most spec homes, it was designed to be a net-zero-energy house, with rooftop photovoltaics (PV) and a 25-foot-tall wind turbine in the backyard.

French studio Avenier & Cornejo Architectes has used strips of cedar cladding to wrap every surface of this house in Orsay, France

Since humans began using wood, the material has always been subject to more or less successful methods of wood preservation. Alexander the Great is said to have soaked wood used for bridge building in olive oil. The Romans brushed their ship hulls with tar. Tar was also extensively used by the Scandinavians which makes sense, as their lands to a large extent are covered in dense pine forests. Tar is dry distilled from finely split pine wood in so called “tar kilns”. According to Wikipedia, tar has probably been used in Scandinavia since the Iron Age. It remained the most popular method for hundreds of years, and from the 14th century on, it was one of Sweden’s most important exports. Production didn’t cease until the beginning of the 20th century when the wood tar was replaced with chemicals.

建物の外壁材に使用する伝統的材料「焼杉（やきすぎ）」。昔は多くの建物がこの「焼杉」で仕上げられていました。あらかじめ表面を焦がし、炭化状にしておくことで初期の着火性を低くし、耐火性能を持たせます。また、風雨にさらされる杉板の耐久性を高める役割も担います。 先人の知恵によって伝統的に使用されてきた「焼杉」ですが、最近は法規制や建物デザインの洋風化などによりその数は減っています。しかし香川の地においてはまだまだ使える場面も多く、「国産材を使う」という観点からも積極的に使用していきたいと考えています。何といっても無垢の木材ですから、全くの天然素材です。

Shou-sugi-ban is the ancient Japanese technique of burning Sugi, or Japanese Cypress, for use as a siding on the exterior of buildings. The first reason to do so was to protect against fire. It also turned out to make it more durable. The technique is still used on places like Naoshima, in Japan. The Japanese architect Terunobu Fujimori made some beautiful projects this way and inspired many of us.

japanese charred wood technique The ancient Japanese technique of charring wood to preserve it for use as exterior siding. Traditionally, Japanese Cyprus was used, but now we’re seeing this technique applied to cedar, and other woods. We’re also seeing the wood being utilized in new and interesting ways beyond exterior siding.

Shou-Sugi-Ban is de traditionele Japanse techniek om ‘Sugi’ of Japanse cipres te branden om hout te verduurzamen. Het werd vooral gebruikt voor gevelbekleding. De oorspronkelijk reden om het hout te branden was om de dicht op elkaar gebouwde houten huizen te beschermen tegen brandoverslag. Brandpreventie dus. Het bleek echter ook een erg goede bescherming tegen ongedierte en schimmels. In sommige plekken als Naoshima in Japan wordt het nog steeds toegepast.

Shou-sugi-ban is the ancient Japanese technique of burning Sugi, or Japanese Cypress, for use as a gorgeous and unusual siding on the exterior of buildings… this textured charcoal finish is accomplished by binding two planks of wood around an interior layer of stuffed newsprint, lighting the paper on fire and allowing it to burn the length of the wood for 7 minutes before extinguishing the fire with cold water… next, artisans scrub each board with wire brushes, taking off the most charred wood and embedding the grain with the ashes… after each board has dried, they are individually rubbed with natural oils to coat and preserve the finish… this act of charring and coating the wood is said to protect the cedar or cypress siding from weather, pests and rot for 80 years…
