Abstract:The waste of building materials is a common phenomenon in urban and rural construction. Therefore, exploring ways to reduce such waste during architectural design and construction has become a key issue in the field of architecture. In timber building design, “components”are the most basic elements connecting materials to structures. On the premise of meeting the performance, form, and spatial requirements of the timber structures, optimizing component reduction helps to achieve carbon reduction. This is particularly significant for buildings using large numbers of repetitive components. Taking the elements of timber components as the starting point, this paper first clarifies the significance of reducing components in design and construction. It then refines strategies for reducing components in timber structure design and construction from four levels: appropriate material selection of components, simplification and decomposition of component production, integration of components and equipment, and optimization of component force transfer. The research results can provide a reference for current timber structure design in China.
