Roofs
Only seldom is the roof an essential component of a
buliding’s desian ~ its decisive architectural element. This
edition of DETAIL presents buildings in which the roof
defines both the building's form as perceived from the
exterior and the space below it. Examples include: the
Tolded, load-bearing wood structure creating a complex
space above a swimming poo! near London; a series of
pitched concrete roots serving as the playful culmination
‘of vacation home near Stockholm; and the shimmer-
ing-gold hip roofs crowning a museum in Ahrenshoop
and making subtle reference to the region's reed roofs,
through the use of irregularly bent-to-shape brass. More-
‘over, a polygonal green roof atop an education centre in
\Vichlab in the Czech Republic absorbs the contours of,
the surrounding landscape, and an apartment complex
‘on a sloping site in Bruga reinterprets terraced housing ~

on thrae main levels; basement, ground

lores are relatively simple, box-like volumes

situated smaller-scale side galleries whose
forms are more playful and sculpted, Thase

‘completed bby an extemal circulation route

tire building Is wrapped in a series of glass
sails, or*verrieres’, which serve as a per-
‘meable enclosure forthe terraces and oxte
rior elculation zones, defining their volumes
‘and shettering users from the slements. The
resulting spaces are unique, whilo the na-
ture ofthe glazed surfaces themselves are
ethereal, bluring the sense of enclosure
and breaking down the distinetion botweon

There are twelve verrlees ~ each ane an in-
Gependent structure ~ supporting a total of
around 13,400 mn of glazing. They vary in
size from the largest, at over 3,000 m® and
‘nearly 500 tonnes, to the smallest at 600 m?
and 60 tonnes, and range in orientation
{rom horizontal to vertical. They are a cen-

timber was produced in this way, sourcing
‘the planks from high-altitude forests in Aus
‘via, and only empioying planks with ahigh
density ranging from 800 to 700 kg/m, and
‘an average density of S85 kg/m
To reduce the risk of fissuring and split
ting of the timber over time the moisture
‘content of the timber was also carefully
‘controlled. Over a period of years the
moisture contont of axternal, sheltered
timber in the Pars climate will sotle down
{0 eround 14%. For the project, all of the
planks were pre-cried to a controlled
‘moisture content of 9% 10 14%. This en-
‘sures thatthe timber'e moisture content
vill tnd to incroase over its lifespan, reduc
ing the risk of fissuring due to drying,
‘The fabrication process adopted for the
double-curved beams also has the advan-
tage of inlrocucing glue planes close to the
surface in both directions. This tends to
‘slow dowm changes in moisture content of
the section, making it less sensitive to oycl=
cal changes in the external environment
both reducing the risk of fissuring, and limit
ing creck dept to the outer layer af timber.
Inthe end, this form of double lamination |
‘was adopted evan for the planar ourved el
‘ements to enhance their durability and re
sistance to fisuring,
In timber design the connoctions are typi-
cally the system's most critical elements,
{and this was certainly 1ue of this project.
‘The nature of the structure meant that con-
noctions had to be continuous, transferring
principal loads in the strong direction for
timber (axial and bending forces in the d-
rection of the grain). However, due tothe
structure's geometrical complexity, eccan-
trcities were inevitable, and these tended
to introduce additional secondary torsional
and bending forces, The classic connection
dltail involves slotting a vertical etoel plato
into the timber section and linking the two
vat a grid of 16 mm diameter transversal
pins. This approach had to be adapted to
incorporate to plates in order to generate
the push-pull necessary to wrensfer the sec
‘ondary torsion and bending forces. This
technique required high-precision fabrica-
tion so that the pre-diled holes forthe pins
in the timber aligned perfectly with those in
tho twin plates. Stainless stool was used in
all of te pins and plates to ensure maxt
‘mum durabilty ofthe assembly. The theo-
retical strength ofthe connections was than
justified by ful-soale testing
Both the construction system selected and
tho dotaiing and execulion ofthe verriores

architect's intention to create a rich and
