Structure
and Material
A 3-dimensional ellipse-pattern is translated into planar laser-cut steel
elements coated with FRP-skin (Fibre reinforced plastic). But reconsidering
the costs and the waste of material, it was necessary to find a comparatively
simple system for the structure, reflecting the simple design of the pavilion.
FRP – sandwiches were chosen as a suitable technology for frequent mounting
and dismounting. Furthermore the whole structure is much lighter than the
steel version, which is a great advantage in terms of shipping the pavilion.
