Advanced Timber Framing is a comprehensive treatise on the history, design and construction of traditional timber frame roof systems. Beginning with the history and elements of natural design, author Steve Chappell unfolds the process of designing and building complex heavy timber frame roof systems beginning with the History and Evolution of medieval timber framing through the Design Theory, Layout and Joinery Execution. Using Geometry, Trigonometry and simple Mathematics, mixed with Harmonics and Musical overtones, this book is the most complete work ever written on the Architecture, Art, Design and Construction of Traditional Timber Frame Roof Systems. Along with detailed and colorful chapters on the history and evolution of timber frame roof systems, Chappell goes on to present a comprehensive and highly technical mathematical treatise on the approach to determine rotated angles in a compound roof system. These he unfolds in a sequence of axioms, which he has developed over the past 35 years through his experience of designing, building and teaching the Art of Complex Timber Frame Roof Systems. This book will have a broad appeal to the Architect, Engineer and Professional Builder, as well as to the novice or student interested in the history of the Architecture and Engineering of Traditional Timber Frames.

Steve Chappell has been building, teaching and writing about timber framing and traditional building for more than 35 years. He was an early pioneer of the timber framing revival, and a co-founder of the Timber Framers Guild. He founded Fox Maple School of Traditional Building in 1983, where he continues to teach and to promote the finer aspects of timber framing & traditional building in the foothills of southwestern Maine. Over the past 15 years, Chappell has devoted much of his time working with indigenous communities around the world through his Indigenous People's Community Building Initiative. The IPCBI is an educational outreach program committed to helping develop new vernacular building archetypes that reflect both the cultural identity, and the environmental resources from within the community, as a way of providing both their immediate, and long-term, sustainable housing needs.Chappell has written extensively on the subject of traditional building, and is also the author of the book, A Timber Framer's Workshop.
