THE PLAYERS
OUTLINE
• THE BUILDING CONCEPT
• THE ARCHITECT’S CONCEPT FOR THE ROOF
• 4 STRUCTURAL CONCEPTS FOR THE ROOF
• FABRICATION TESTS: MOCK UPS
• STRENGTH TESTS: MATERIAL TESTING
• FINAL FABRICATION
• ERECTION
• FINISHED BUILDING
THE BUILDING CONCEPT
Aspen, Colorado, USA

WHAT WE LEARNED
WHAT WE LEARNED Objective 1
Design challenge centers on the nodes and connections.
“Structures are connections held together by members.” - Hardy Cross
Wood is orthotropic. With engineered wood products, you can orient the wood fibers to your advantage.
WHAT WE LEARNED Objective 1
Curved space frame members are beautiful, and yet at odds with their structural function.
WHAT WE LEARNED Objective 1
Knife plates and bolts are expensive and do not always take the best advantage of the wood properties
WHAT WE LEARNED Objective 2
Notches and half-lap joints dramatically reduce the strength of wood
WHAT WE LEARNED Objective 2
Screws create strong, redundant wood connections
WHAT WE LEARNED Objective 2
Preparation of precision virtual models for CNC fabrication is essential.
WHAT WE LEARNED Objective 3
Design cannot be divorced from fabrication and construction process.
WHAT WE LEARNED Objective 4
