- Plywood Dome Roskilde Festival 2012After designing the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/the-peoples-meeting-dome-deconstructs-the-geodesic-domes-sacred-geometry/" target="_blank">People’s Meeting Dome</a>, which investigated the future of housing in Denmark, architects <a href="http://www.behance.net/ktejlgaard" target="_blank">Kristoffer Tejlgaard</a> and <a href="http://www.behance.net/Oneliner" target="_blank">Benny Jepsen</a> have once again focused their design skills on geodesic domes and their potential as buildings of the future. The team’s latest project is a plywood dome inspired by the structure and performance of molecules. The dome was designed and built for a music festival last year in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roskilde_County">Roskilde County</a>, Denmark.1
- Plywood Dome Roskilde Festival 2012The first version of the building was designed in 2011, as a structure which could be used as the festival’s facility in subsequent years.2
- Plywood Dome Roskilde Festival 2012It was a modular, easily assembled structure that functioned as a gathering place for visiting communities which fit perfectly into the festival’s atmosphere saturated with the spirit of alternative living and environmental awareness.3
- Plywood Dome Roskilde Festival 2012One year after the first version was built the structure doubled in size.4
- Plywood Dome Roskilde Festival 2012Modules were cut using a CNC machine and assembled on site. Brackets were positioned around the window holes, in vertical position on the spherical surface.5
- Plywood Dome Roskilde Festival 2012That technique allowed for the mounting of the waterproof membranes that protected the inside of the dome from the elements.6
- Plywood Dome Roskilde Festival 2012The modular spherical surface uses a minimal surface condition and aerodynamic form to reduce energy consumption and generate great strength and stability.7
- Plywood Dome Roskilde Festival 2012The dome was built in just eight days, during which time it was used for parties and various gatherings.8
