The final installation is built at the terrace of the BuroHappold office.

The test experiments highlighted cer tain limitations based on sheet thickness, score depth for cur ve folding, local loading and joiner y.

T he s e l imit ations ar e t aken into account for de signing the global geometry.

Proposed Construction Sequence

Step 4- Students to install base components at back of skylight for area that will wrap around the beam.

Step 5 - Contractor to install components that wrap around beam requiring high level access. Max weight per section = 10kg

Step 6 - Contractor to install final component connecting skylight section to beam section. Max weight = 10 kg

Step 3- Contractor to install components on roof of skylight that are hard to reach from the terrace floor. Max weight per section = 10kg
