Edward Cullinan describes The Downland Gridshell at the Weald & Downland Open Air Museum as ‘far beyond Hi-Tech, in that it prophesies a new and ecological use of materials in the light of the ...

The single-storey building has a steel-framed wall and flatroofed perimeter structure which supports four timber gridshells. They are raised above the flat roof on canted kerto columns, set on steel ...

The Downland Gridshell is part of The Weald and Downland Open Air Museum, which covers a total of 50 acres exhibiting nearly 50 historic buildings from different periods and styles, along with gardens ...

The gridshell pavilion was an experiment that hadn't been done in the area before, Gjertson said. Gridshell structures in other places have been removed because of deterioration. It doesn't mean the ...
