Abstract
The maintenance and preservation of wooden structures which are a significant part of historical building heritage requires suitable knowledge of both the material on which intervention is intended and the construction techniques used to build it. Understanding its structural design, characteristics, and construction specificities is crucial in order to correctly safeguard this aesthetical/cultural heritage of knowledge and values which in some cases has, unfortunately, been irremediably lost.The present contribution will analyse several examples of wooden structures built using the system invented by Philibert de lOrme in 1561. The case studies, all cited in the Nouvelles Inventions pour bien bâtir à petits frais, illustrate the different ways in which the construction system proposed by de lOrme can be used.
