Sports Hall of the Oberhaching Gymnasium near Munich
Assembly of the space frame: Due to the multi-axis joint connections, 5-metre-wide assembly units were prefabricated in the factory and moved into place using a crane. All details had to be executed with high precision, as the joint connections allowed no dimensional tolerances during assembly. To achieve glare-free, uniform lighting, the three gymnasium units were each roofed with a glass shed, whose pyramid-shaped wooden support structure also serves as the substructure for the puttyless glazing. The openness of the structure makes the distribution of forces perceptible, creating a transparency that is further emphasized by the way the light is directed.
