ABSTRACT
These were built in Northern Jutland until the 19th century, and in this way aisle-truss houses represent a vernacular building practice that has been developed and improved for centuries under hard conditions. Consequently, aisle-truss houses reflect a number of resource-saving and sustainable building principles, which make aisle-truss houses relevant to research. Hence, the research questions of this paper are as follows: how are resource-saving and sustainable principles reflected in the aisle-truss houses of Thy, Northern Jutland, and how can these principles contribute to future, sustainable building?
