They had building codes in the middle ages, they were mostly about chimneys. People who didn't know or care what they were doing used to make them out of wood (which caught fire), build them too close to the roof (which caught fire), or made them too heavy (which fell over), so building codes were nescary.
@jeremygriffin6202 жыл бұрын
Modern tradesmen here: The guilds, qualitatively the early unions, would watch a number of trades and act as a "code" system, they would run poor worksmen out of town by reputation if not worse in some areas. These weren't just carpentry or building trades, but candle makers, cobblers, tanners, a variety of clothiers. These dynamics would break down if you got further from urban centers, but certified, codified craftsmanship is ancient, far older than medieval era.

It is true that jettying upper floors allowed for more living space, but there are many other more important structural reasons for it which are quite clever. It meant building heights were not limited by the length of trees, it helps to stabilise the first floor joists as a cantilever, and it protects the ground floor and foundations from rain!

The extra space was particularly important in cities where there was very limited space inside the safety of the walls. The added shade was also nice if you were selling things from a ground floor window, which was common in many areas.
@nzlemming2 жыл бұрын
@@lauraandedwardcannon8861 Which is why many small streets and lanes in London were almost enclosed by upper storeys. There was also a matter of ground tax (like ratings) which only applied to the ground floor area used by the house. Some late medieval houses were 5 storeys high, each level cantilevered out further than the one below.
@facewrinkles38862 жыл бұрын
Also it shades the narrow streets more because the tops of houses gradually get closer to one another blocking out the sky, which is nice from a city design and civilian comfort point of view. From glimpses into 1400s european towns (E.g. Riquewihr, France), they don't really use trees as shade often because houses touch each other astride and streets are freaking narrow... trees are not a priority. In places like Greece where whitewashed traditional houses don't do that and there still aren't trees, you're going to bake in the midday sun.
@ColonelSandersLite Жыл бұрын
I'm pretty sure that *most* of these reasons are either bunk or just incidental to the type of construction. The idea that it was done to make more usable space on an upper floor where the lower floor is restricted is certainly wrong. The obvious counterpoint is all the rural structures that where built in this way. Ground space wasn't as restricted but they went to the effort anyways. Shading the street? Man, if I'm going to build a house, making sure the house shades the sidewalk for passersby is definitely not going to be one of my priorities. Hard to imagine that medieval people where any different. Also, see the aforementioned rural structures where there isn't really a street to shade. The cantilever effect making the most out of the beams? In order for that to actually work well, it has to be done on both opposing sides. We see this is often ignored in more densely built up areas. Tree length? Nah, they could mostly do that without a jetty construction as shown by all the buildings which are jettied on only one side. Honestly, I suspect that the primary and most important reason was to keep the walls dry before we invented gutters. Especially wattle and daub. Everything else was just a nice to have side bonus. Just my own opinion though.

Archaeologist here: They 'did' have building guidelines during the Middle Ages. It's a pretty broad timespan (5th to 15th century, so about 1000 years), and was followed by the Tudor Period. The best technique I've seen for a thatched roof is with static grass. However, the technique used here would work better with unravelled hemp string.

I'm not an expert on medieval building techniques, I just know a lot of weird things. My guess is that 'plaster' appearance for the walls might be that the walls were made of cob rather than wood. Cob buildings are really cool! It's kind of like building with dirt, but dirt with a lot of clay, rocks, and straw mixed in. Incredibly strong, the oldest cob house still standing is 10,000 years old! Seriously!

The thatched roof is similar to nipa palm thatched roofs ... they split and fold the palm leaves over and tie them to the wood supports on the roof. Leaks are controlled more by the pitch (angle) of the roof than anything else. I've seen several roofs that you could see a bit of daylight through but didn't leak. European varieties using grass would naturally be thicker but the idea is the same. Nice build.

If you want to try this technique again, a plain foundational roof may help in placing closer and more uniformly. If anything, some yarn weft tutorials may spark some technique inspiration!

A little bit of history. Those over hangs on very old buildings were not to increase floor space while retaining the original footprint. Nope not at all. The reason for the over hang is so you could chuck the over night contents of your chamber pot out the window, into the street, and not have a lot of unpleasant stains running all down the lower walls. The act of emptying the chamber pots was often accompanied by the cry " GARDE LOO" from the French garde a l'eau, to warn passers-by that you were disposing of last nights bowel movement.
