Timber construction engineering – French pavilion Expo 2015
Project: French pavilion Expo 2015 – Milan (IT)
Method of construction: Timber construction
Knapp-Connector: MEGANT® and RICON® S

Timber constructer: Simonin Montlebon (FR), www.simonin.com
Planning: Designtoproduction, www.designtoproduction.com
Builder: France Agri Mer
Year of construction: 2015
Details: The inspiration for the French pavilion at Expo 2015 in Milan was the covered market as a symbol of French food culture. The three-storey building is mostly made of wood, including the almost 1500-square-metre vault in its core. A grid of curved glulam beams at a distance of 1,5 metres forms the ceiling of the market hall and the supporting structure for the levels above at the same time. This framework rises to a full height of 12 metres at to specific corners, whereas it reaches up to 8 metres inside. designtoproduction was commissioned to plan the structure of the vault structure by the French timber construction company Simonin. 730 individually curved support segments with variable cross sections of up to 200 × 2400 mm had to be modeled digitally, including the connection details at more than 600 crossing points. The paver received detailed 3D CAD models and 2D plans of all components as well as manufacturing data in BTL format.
