Project by Yeonjoon Kang @yk_3150
This project proposes an assembly system for turning irregular reclaimed timber back into building structure without forcing it to become standardized new material. Starting from the labor bottlenecks of deconstruction, especially sorting and denailing, the project develops a three-layer beam that absorbs differences in length, section, and surface condition through layering, earth contact layers, jute wrapping, and lime coating. Inspired by traditional East Asian timber joints, rubber spacer blocks are introduced to increase contact area and accommodate tolerance before the final coating. The result is an early prototype for rebuilding after deconstruction.
