Abstract

A timber gridshell is a special type of structure that establishes a new framework for lightweight construction. It is posible to create a wide variety of shapes and geometries, therefore guaranteeing an enormous architectural freedom. However, given the variety of forms and the difficulty they can present, it is necessary to use different tools and information to support this complex process. The present paper explores the interaction between the information and the different tools used by architects and engineers during the designing and construction process of an elastic timber gridshell, by presenting a real case study with 42m²(6,5mx6,5m) after being erected, built with the intent to explore the design and constructive process together with integrated form finding methods. In the paper, both the architect’s and the engineer’s optimization goals are performed on the same case study. The designing process will be presented and the construction of the elastic gridshell will be described.
