Abstract: |
The "Polydôme" is a 25 m-span timber shell exhibition built to commemorate the seven hundredth anniversary of the Swiss Confederation. The project was an opportunity to present concrete evidence or research, as well as to demonstrate the possibilities of engineered timber structures using simple material means. |
