“Construction of a large composite gridshell structure: A lightweight structure made with pultruded glass fibre reinforced polymer tubes”, Structural Engineering International, No. 2/2016, May 2016, DOI: 10.2749/101686616X14555428758885
ABSTRACT: The Ephemeral Cathedral of Créteil at Paris, France, is a gridshell structure made of composite materials. Built in 2013, this 350 m2 religious edifice is a temporary church meant to gather the parishioners during the two year renovation of their permanent cathedral. This large-scale prototype represents a first in the building industry which still shows excessive apprehension for the use of non-traditional materials such as composites, especially when it comes to structural applications.
