The Trussed Roof: Its History and Development
No Customer Reviews
The trussed roof first appeared in Britain during the 17th century when it was introduced by Inigo Jones and Christopher Wren. The form and structural behaviour of this roof type were in complete contrast to the traditional roof forms in use until then but successfully replaced them because it facilitated both the larger spans and the shallower pitches required by the new architectural styles. However, because they were largely hidden from view, these structures have received little attention from historians until now.
