OVERVIEW:
Roof framing is where the most exciting and challenging geometry comes to life in a timber frame - especially when there are hips and valleys involved. In this case, we will explore compound roof framing using a variety of approaches for different learning styles. We will demystify the tables printed on the framing square, and supplement our learning with geometry exercises and a dash of stereotomy to help each student visualize the subtleties at play in this topic. Each student will create a desk-sized scaled down model of a hip roof corner to take home, and then together a as a class we will create one full-size hip roof, complete with professional joinery detailing like baking angles and housed jack rafters. This course is an introductory overview of compound roof framing, which is itself an advanced topic - it is recommended that students already have familiarity with common rafter framing and concepts like run, rise, and pitch.
