Introduction Background and Aim of StudyDeep projecting eaves as the skirt of a large roof, known from temples and shrines, are one of the most significant expressions in traditional Japanese architecture. 1) Initially serving as a device to protect the wooden structure from precipitation and light, Japanese carpentry developed sophisticated techniques to project and decorate eaves 2) incorporating representative purposes as well as environmental concerns. Hence, eaves have become a characteristic element that provides a reference to Japanese architectural tradition. According to the historian Siegfried Giedion, a monumental expression addresses an eternal need of the people who want their buildings to be representatives of their social, ceremonial, and communal life. 3) Against this backdrop, the architectural expression of eaves in the postwar period gains relevance. With the Treaty of San Francisco, which came into force in 1952, Japan's rapid modernization took command. The imposed new democratization caused a widespread reconstruction of residential, cultural and political facilities. 4) Especially public buildings, such as government buildings and city halls, which had been destroyed in the war and needed to be reconstructed, and emerging building programs and types, such as congress and concert halls, were implemented and required an appropriate architectural expression. Responding to the new modernization, Japanese architects attempted to continue tradition in their design practices. Known as dento ronso, the debate on tradition focusing on aesthetic and historical identity in architectural expression flourished in postwar Japan. At this critical point, the expression of a large, monumental roof seemed to be adequate neither from a symbolic viewpoint nor considering the manifestations of modern architecture and nearly disappeared in public buildings. On the other hand, the deep projecting eaves extending the horizontal line of a flat roof became the traditional expression applicable for public buildings (Fig. 1).At the same time, reinforced concrete became the predominant material for public buildings in Japan. Then, horizontal eaves and concrete construction were both demanded in public buildings.When the rest of the world was taken up the possibilities of lightness offered by concrete -especially shell structures -Japanese architects went the opposite direction towards weight and solidity. 5) This contradiction that eaves were executed of a material that opposes the idea of a cantilever challenging gravity resulted in a ＊1 ＊2

“…As Timber is a natural material and its dimensions are limited, joining two elements has always been a driving force in timber technology [25]. Joints are a key element in the design process, as they enable the static interaction of structural elements [31]. Moreover, they offer a range of benefits in the design, manufacturing and assembly of structures.…”

From a global perspective, the building industry stands as a significant factor of environmental impact on the planet. Wood has emerged as a promising construction material as a sustainable building source, gaining traction in the industry due to its carbon storage capabilities and prefabricated possibilities [13]. Particularly in the context of rural Colombia, the integration of prefabricated timber constructions, coupled with advancements in digital fabrication technologies, holds the promise of facilitating social reconstruction. Furthermore, such an approach poses the potential to enhance material performance and contribute positively to its end of life [1]. Nevertheless, existing research identifies a critical gap within the wood-to-wood timber connections to tackle better design, manufacture, assembly, and deconstruction (DfMA + D) [20]. Consequently, this study endeavours to explore the application of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technologies in conjunction with the material's response to changes in relative humidity. The aim is to devise a mechanism for tight-fitting structural wood connections, the central focus of this research lies in understanding the collaborative interaction between sawn timber and moisture fluctuations. By doing so, the study seeks to introduce a new construction methodology and building system centred around material climate reaction and its expansion capacity applications in traditional connections, thereby mitigating the need for chemical and mechanical structural joints, ultimately resulting in a self-assembly system destined to low-income populations in the Colombian territory. This study proves the enhancement of timber connection to tensile stress up to 50% of its original capacity by implementing the moisture induced process and developing a building system utilising this joining method for the assembly of elements for housing in Colombia.

This study aims to clarify the characteristics of eaves on appropriation in the approach of contemporary Japanese public buildings.Eaves of a pitched roof are characterized by different inclinations of nokiura and the roof surface, projecting several domains on the adjacent space. The relation between this projection and the approach is studied. First, through different eave configurations, three types of projected spatial articulation are defined. Second, the relation between this projection and the approach is analyzed and patterns are established. By comparing these patterns, the characteristics of eaves on appropriation in the approach of contemporary Japanese public buildings are clarified.
