Abstract: | The construction of a 7.5x7.5x3.3m timber gridshell prototype, erected by means of a pneumatic formwork and monitored via an Arduino board, is described. A comparison on construction speed, form-finding accuracy and precision is made between this erection method and a more conventional one. |
