ETH Zurich New-Build ITA-Roof, Zurich

Planning contract

• Support of the research project „Roof construction Arch_Tec_Lab“ in practical building terms
• Support of the planning team in the preparation of the tender documents for timber construction
• Implementation of PQM during execution

Project description
As part of a research project at ETH Zurich a new type of roof construction was developed. As a result, individual, small beams were laid with a robot to form a framework and nailed together. This meant that each beam could be joined together in a slightly offset manner, resulting in this full-surface supporting structure and undulating roof.
