BUILDING STRUCTURE AND METHOD Abstract of the Disclosure A building structure comprises first and second truss members having cross-members extending therebetween. Each truss member has a generally I-shaped cross-section, of generally constant cross-sectional dimensions, defining elongate longitudinal channels. The longitudinal channels are sized to appropriately receive and retain ends of cross- members extending between the truss members. Supports mounted in the longitudinal channels form receiving pockets which are engaged by the cross-members. A plurality of truss members, formed as parallel arches, may be utilized to form a load-bearing framing structure of a completed building, which may be enclosed by wall coverings such as panelling, siding, plywood or the like. The absence of load-bearing sidewalls permit doors, windows, deck units or the like to be easily introduced into sidewalls. The truss members, having little or no cross-bracing or bridging-work, and narrow, relatively constant cross-sectional dimensions, may be easily enclosed within inner and outer walls, along with insulation, for a secure, aesthetically pleasing, arrangement. The building may be relatively easily constructed according to a method of the present invention from readily available and easily handled materials.
