Clever. Students of an architecture school in Kyoto have made a scale model of a timber frame home to promote traditional Japanese earthquake resistant carpentry. They take it around local schools and let kids try assembling it by themselves in workshops.
They even provide a second model of a modern style timber frame construction, complete with metal plates and anchors. And of course, they stress test it: a simulated earthquake is easily done with a few eager volunteers doing their best to pull it down.
So if you have a small timber frame construction business anywhere in the world and want to do some long term marketing: build a model and take it around local schools. Or better yet, form a guild, pool resources to make a few models, and have a traveling exhibit.
