The Aquamundo hall is comprised of three roofs
spanning 35 metres and houses 5000 m² of water attractions, swimming pools
and beaches immersed in dense tropical greenery. The structure is a
clover-shaped cross covered in curves and blades of glue laminated timber; the
units being large to allow for tree growth.
The roof is covered with transparent Texlon®
ETFE cushions. The lightweight system offered the client tremendous advantages
over traditional roofing systems in terms of energy savings, sound dispersion,
lower structural costs and uninterrupted UV light transmission.
