Exploration of structure and form of wooden bridge: A Report of 2023 Sino-Canadian Joint Teaching Program on Wooden Bridge Design
Abstract
The paper reviews the history of the joint teaching of wood structure architecture between the School of Architecture of Nanjing Tech University and the School of Forestry of The University of British Columbia, discusses the content and method of the joint teaching of the design of timber bridges between China and Canada in 2023 in which the author participated, and combines the case study in Canada and the analysis of the winning scheme of the Eighth National Senior Education Schools' Wooden Structure Design Competition, which preliminarily explored the spatial and morphological design of the timber bridges from the perspective of the modern timber structure design, providing new ideas for the reconstruction program of traditional wooden bridges. The results of the joint teaching show that through the field study of the advanced technology of modern wood structure, the international vision of the students has been greatly expanded, and the interdisciplinary research ability and innovative design ability have been obviously improved.
