Event of Observing a Structure
The event of observing a structure is going to be held on May 22.

The beautiful woody space is designed by using LVL laminated walls that are connected with Face.Solid connectors.
Face.Solid connector resist against a vertical load and the horizontal force like an earthquake.  Therefore Face.Solid connector realizes the design that is freed from the concept of frame method.
The connector is invisible because the connector is inside timber.  Therefore beautiful woody texture is utilized effectively.
Node.Free connector is used as a turn buckle to restrain a thrust.

Event of Observing a Structure
The event of observing a structure is going to be held on May 20 – 21.
Node.Rigid connectors that realize rigid joints are used to realize a large space under the 2 meters depth of snow. The span of the space is 11 meters, the depth is 19 meters and the height is 8 me-
ters.
Two storey rahmen frames were used to realize the large space due to the following points.
1. To make short the distance of the bearing wall line
2. To suppress an interlayer-deformation-angle
3. The shortage of bearing walls for resisting to an earthquake

The beam that has big sectional height was connected by using Node.HSML connectors. Node.HSML connectors are developed for a large wooden building.
The structural integrity of these buildings were verified by 3-dimensional analysis system.
