SCIA User Contest 2023

156 This project involves the construction of a Gridshell to cover a Wine-house and archaeological remains in a tourist site along the Moselle River in Luxembourg. The Gridshell, inspired by iconic structures like the Pompidou Center in Metz and the Savill Garden in England, is a lightweight and intricate two-layer wooden structure spanning the 50 m length of the project. The design incorporates regular holes to form a grid pattern, ensuring three-dimensional stability through shear stiffness and strategic bracing. Special attention was given to connections and foundations, with 42 micropiles installed in alluvial and floodable soil to ensure stability amidst historical and archaeological elements. SCIA Engineer played a crucial role in the project, allowing for precise 3D modelling, accurate effort quantification at each node, and the incorporation of imperfections and openings to align with the architectural vision.
