Scope of work

Dome:

• Doubly-curved insulated glass units superimposed on a primary timber load-bearing construction consisting of curved laminated wooden beams and a secondary steel construction.
• Exterior cladding: approx. 7.500 curved perforated aluminium lamellae.
• Ground floor standard glass facade using the minimo_FR system.
• Fire-services doors integrated into the cladding.
• Fire doors.
• Parametrically planned complete solution construction.

Innovations / Challenges

• Free-form geometry requiring high level of precision execution for curved and bent elements.
• Urban building site with difficult access.
• Execution of glass dome with double-curved glass units (ATEx procedure).
• Execution of curved structure of exterior aluminium cladding.
• Adaptation minimo_ FR system for curved glass units of ground floor facade.
