Research Abstract |
The research has got the important perspective that the strong similarities could be seen between Japan and Europe in terms of the origin and transformation of wooden structure as the result of morphological study on the ridge-supporting posts in central Europe. Particularly the similarities could be seen in the field surveyed by the research such as southern Germany, Swiss, Austria and northern Italy. Firstly the origin of wood structure was made clear by archaeological documents, rock art and building remains. Secondly the transformation of wood structure was made clear by the academic report particularly written in Germany. The research can point out that the ridge-supporting structure is morphological element of wooden buildings through centuries. The hypothesis is applicable to the field called Eurasia continent that comprises Europe and Asia. It becomes clearer under the next survey in the field of Asia. The biggest result done by the research is that the origin as ridge-supporting structure is highly applicable to the Eurasia continent.
