at the centre of this student project is the constructive exploration of the timber joint, not as a static detail but as a spatially effective system. starting from a basic joint that works without diagonal bracing and relies solely on horizontal and vertical beams, a spatial principle was developed that is both rational and atmospheric. the particularity lies in its scalability: the identical joint is applied at different scales, from the fine grid of the facade structure to the load-bearing order of the two-storey building. this creates a continuous constructive system that carries the entire building while simultaneously making itself visible. the dojo is organised around an open inner courtyard. the clear timber construction mediates between openness and concentration, between lightness and rigour, qualities derived from the martial arts. the design understands itself as an architectural reflection on structure, discipline, and spatial perception.
