I realized current living situation has taken up too much of my energy-to rectify this issue a nifty urban design project.
The design aptly named “the Lantern” is situated in Sandnes, Ragna Stakland in Norway.
The roof is a double grid of 90×90mm laminated pine members, with steel reinforcement in the joints it’s supported by four hefty oak columns. The overlapping glass panels allow for direct connections to the wooden frame.
I can totally see an outdoor farmer’s market going on in this space or even a really creative dance performance with flowing fabric and swings engaging the four columns and there goes my imagination…
