wooden dome pavilion

The  domed latticed pavilion is made up of several laminated strips of wood that have been bent in the middle and joined together, forming a diamond-shaped lattice-work. Adding moisture to the thin wooden elements resulted in them curving across the grain, thus increasing their structural capacity.The construction consisted of 46 groups of components while each of them consisted of 5 components: 36 identical groups of them are fabricated for the major structure, while 3 components in 6 groups of the total are fabricated differently for extreme curvature shift. Authors of the project are Architecture students Wing Yi Hui and Lap Ming Wong of the Oslo School of  Architecture and Design.
