Tuto with Peter Carl MON 21/02 - Catenary idea

large span building made of small pieces of engineered salt cedar
chain kind of loose, hung from water towers, people walk around with 
spanners, fixing bolts, then the whole roof flips on its head. tadaaaaa - hall.

pre- prepared structure, DIY fixing, machine flipping 

 how to fit spaces under catenary?

PC: 
sort out the environmental factors first
you cant do anything before that
find out angles of sun - will be different to UK
find out wind directions, might be that we are so close to the coast that the winds are coming from there, rising up around our site , therefore all over the directions. 


focus on ventilation, shading, orientation. 


contact Zoe's boyfriend - re: natural ventilation 
look at King's Cross - its all sorted out there for you - roof structure


talk to Luisa from LEARN - re: eco things


Structural decisions later, when you know what you are doing. 
Talk to Jonas - re engineered wood

look at : Eladio Dieste

"Eladio Dieste (Artigas, December 10, 1917 - Montevideo, July 29, 2000) was a Uruguayan engineer and architect who made his reputation by building a range of structures from grain silos, factory sheds, markets and churches, all in Uruguay and all of exceptional elegance. A particular innovation was his Gaussian vault, a thin-shell structure for roofs in single-thickness brick, that derives its stiffness and strength from a double curvature catenary arch form that resists buckling failure.[1]"
