Tent Construction as Covering to Archaeological Excavations on Pianosa and in Desenzano del Garda
The roof covering was initially designed to protect the mosaics of the Roman Villa of Agrippa. The excavations extend over an area of 912 m². The individual tent units were prefabricated. Based on a 4 x 4 m grid, the modular construction facilitates a flexible extension of the protective covering in any direction. The load-bearing structure consists of tubular columns supporting a trussed framework in which the pyramidal membrane elements are fixed. The elements, made of PVC-coated polyester fabric, are anchored to the lower nodes of the frame and suspended by stainless steel cables from the upper nodes.
