Provided is an architectural bracket that has an improved strength, and is suitable for realizing a high degree of freedom in terms of the arrangement relationship with a fixation object in construction, as well as a building wall structure and a plank member construction method that use the architectural bracket. An architectural bracket Xincludes a first fixing portionthat includes a surfacefor coming into contact with a building frame, and a second fixing portionthat extends from an end of the first fixing portionto a side opposite to the surface, so as to intersects with the first fixing portion. The second fixing portionincludes a base portionthat includes a surfaceA, a rib portion, a first side-wall portion, and a second side-wall portion. The rib portionprotrudes from the base portion, and includes, at a protruding end thereof, a surfaceA. The first side-wall portionprotrudes from an end of the base portionin the width direction W of the base portionto the same side as the side to which the rib portionprotrudes. The second side-wall portionprotrudes from the other end of the base portionin the width direction W to the same side as the side to which the rib portionprotrudes.

Provided are a wall structure for a building, an attachment apparatus, and a board material construction method, according to which construction is simple and fast, and a board material can be stably supported. A bracket includes: a first portion; a second portion; a first side wall portionthat extends continuously from at least a portion of one side edgeof the first portionto at least a portion of one side edgeof the second portion, and protrudes toward a narrow angle &#x3b1;side; a second side wall portionthat extends continuously from at least a portion of another side edgeof the first portionto at least a portion of another side edgeof the second portion, and protrudes toward the narrow angle &#x3b1;; and a mounting portionthat is provided on the second portion. A first support bodyincludes: a first joining portionthat is to be mounted on the mounting surfaceof the mounting portion; and a second joining portion. A fastening member includes a first drill screwthat penetrates through and fastens the mounting portionand the first joining portionto each other.

Wall structure for building, attachment apparatus, and board material construction method

An exterior insulation structure includes a first board member, first supporting members, a first thermal insulator, second supporting members disposed on the exterior side of the first supporting members, a second thermal insulator disposed on the exterior side of the first thermal insulator and between the second supporting members, securing members fixed to the exterior side of the second supporting members, and exterior wall members attached to the securing members. The adjacent exterior wall members are joined together without leaving a gap therebetween. Each securing member is long enough, in the second direction, to be fixable to at least two second supporting members and shorter, in the second direction, than each exterior wall member. A first gap is left between the securing members adjacent in the second direction. At least part of each second supporting member is made of a material having a thermal conductivity lower than that of steel.

Building exterior insulation structure

An exterior structure includes a front-side lateral joint portion and a back-side lateral joint portion disposed at horizontal edge portions of each facade board, a front-side vertical joint portion and a back-side vertical joint portion disposed at a lower edge portion and an upper edge portion of each facade board, a lateral joint formed between horizontally adjacent facade boards as a result of superposing the front-side lateral joint portion of one facade board and the back-side lateral joint portion of the other facade board one on the other, and a vertical joint formed between vertically adjacent facade boards as a result of superposing the front-side vertical joint portion of one facade board and the back-side vertical joint portion of the other facade board one on the other. In at least four horizontally and vertically adjacent facade boards, the lateral joints form a joint area substantially linearly continuous in the vertical direction.
