| Abstract: |
This paper gives an overview of the fusée Ceramique vaults and domes constructed in The Netherlands just after World War II and describes the technique of construction as well as the advantages and disadvantages. Using only a minimum of concrete and steel, the environmental load of the vaults is quite small. Probably this study can contribute to the development of form-active systems, constructed of varying materials to reduce the environment load of buildings in the next decades. |
