This research aims to build up a theory on the structural systems of historic wooden architecture in East Asia. Comparative analyses are made comprehensively upon the views of technology and space performance. In particular, fundamental research materials and theses concerned with the wooden buildings in Medieval Japan and China, have been compiled and clarified, so that it becomes possible to make a comparison between their structural systems.This four-year research project has been already accomplished during the first three years.
