| Abstrakt: |
The paper is reflective of a design and delivery process through an interesting project in Scunthorpe in the North of England. The project is a community leisure centre and these buildings are often square and rectangular and uninspiring. The paper describes how a deliberately inventive and ambitious architecture was conceived to which the engineers responded also ambitiously with free form timber shells yet one which would respect also structural engineering logic of funicular shapes, and minimum volumes. |
