Improve your knowledge: Design of roofs and façades with ETFE foil

17.05.2018 - 13:30 - Akademisk Arkitektforening, Åbenrå 34, 1124 København DK

ETFE foil has been used for some iconic building envelopes worldwide including Denmark. However, the knowledge of working with ETFE is not yet widely available. The lectures will give the basic information on working with ETFE foil as a building envelope material. A work report from iconic Aarau bus station shows how to shift the limitations of ETFE foil cushion from simple geometric shapes to fascinating amorphous shapes.

The two lecturers have long time experience in design and realisation of ETFE-structures in Denmark and all over Europe. Gerd Schmid is Managing Director of  form-TL, a specialist consultant engineer office for lightweight structures, based in Radolfzell at Lake Constanze. form-TL was responsible for the detail design and cutting pattern generation of the ETFE cushion system of C.F. Møller project Botanical Garden in Aarhus and KHR project Frederiksberg Centret, Copenhagen. 

Klaus Gipperich is area sales manager with Temme // Obermeier, a specialist contractor for lightweight structures from Bavaria. Klaus was also involved in Botanical Garden Aarhus and Frederiksberg Centret.
