| Abstract: |
Multihalle Mannheim, a megastructure designed by Carlfried Mutschler and Joachim Langner, Frei Otto and Ove Arup & Partners for the Federal Garden Exhibition 1975, still is the world largest timber lattice shell structure and is protected as a cultural monument since 1998 due to its architectural uniqueness and filigree material-minimized construction. Technical reports on the structure and the roof skin describe a great need for renovation. Currently, various possibilities for further handling of the multi-hall are being examined. The work is carried out in close coordination with the Landesamt für Denkmalpflege in Karlsruhe. The paper will give an insight into current research works and discuss some of the maintenance ideas like addition of a third layer (Fast + Epp), pneumatic reinforcement or monitoring taking into account the spirit of Frei Otto. |
