Project : |
 |
 |
| The greenhouses in the Botanical Gardens, designed by C.F. Moller in the late 1960s, are a national icon within Danish greenhouse architecture.
The planned extensions and additions to the building complex therefore require considerable attention and expertise in order to retain the existing architectural merit of the complex.
My involvement focussed on the design of a new palm house extending over 1,000 square metres, which will house plants from the tropical regions of the world. |
My Role : |
 |
- BioDome surface geometry generation
- Surface geometry optimisation in response to solar gain
- BioDome structural grid generation
- Structural optimisation
- Preliminary ETFE cushion formfinding
