The arc
It forms a protective roof sheltering a
multipurpose sports court with a floor area of
760 square meters.

The lightweight structure features bamboo


arches that support an organically shaped
canopy. The 14-metre-high arches are
connected by anticlastic grid-shells that curve
in two directions to create a robust, tensioned
structure.
Making of the arc
Biologically, these highly tensile microscopic
tendons transfer forces from bone to bone

The grid shells use shape stiffness to form the


roof enclosure and provide buckling resistance
to the parabolic arches, In The Arc, bamboo
splits transfer forces from arch to arch

Spaces around the base of canopy allow breeze


to flow through, providing natural ventilation.
Vents at the roof’s apex allow warm air to
escape Making of the Support for
