Description

This 48-by-30 m rectangular roof is obtained by extending one of the panes of a typical pavilion roof. Two additional vertical triangles are thus created: a small one at one of the semi-diagonals of the rectangle and a larger one at one of its sides.

The monolayer structural solution was carried out using light-weight IPE sections for the deflected flat surfaces and heavier built-up sections of equal depth for the diagonals and exterior ridges; the latter with bended flanges so to let them fit the slope of the stretches they connect. In an off-site workshop, these composing elements were assembled into large modules which, once transported to the site, were welded together.
