Chestnut Hypar Friedberg
15.01.2025, Friedberg: Due to their special geometry, saddle-surface structures allow for the construction of very material-efficient and lightweight roofs. There is a long history of such constructions, mostly built from concrete, which requires cost and labour intensive formwork structures for the casting. Furthermore, it is challenging to integrate openings for natural lighting in the concrete…
