Does anyone know this building?

Scrapppy666 · 10-02-2009, 07:10 AM

A coworker of mine just stopped by and asked me if I knew what this building was, I don't have the picture but just sketched up a quick image of what it looked like. It kind of looked like a large tent/pavilion. Does anyone know what or where it might be?

this what your looking for??

Scrapppy666 · 10-02-2009, 08:52 AM

nope, I know that one. This one seems like some type of pavilion or something, maybe even made from a canvas material or some sort of fiberglass

Might be a tent from Cirque Du Soleil. That would be my guess.

They are actually in Pittsburgh right now too. A great show at that.

Thats what I was thinking - some kind of carnival/circus tent.

P.S. - Or something of older, south-asian design. Indian maybe?

Yea I thought cirque d' soleil as well but apparently this is a fixed structure some place, likely outside of the US. In the picture there are some benches and landscape lighting and such like it is in a park somewhere.

OOOooh, I thought you meant it was in Pittsburgh or someplace near.

Could it possible be #27 here? http://www.instantshift.com/2009/02/...-architecture/

or possibly this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoyogi_National_Gymnasium (I'm thinking this is it).

If that's not it, it's likely built in a similar way so look up tensioned fabric architecture, stressed roof architecture, or suspension roof architecture.

Scrapppy666 · 10-02-2009, 11:39 AM

nope neither of those, cool website though. I think you are right about it being tensioned fabric architecture. My quick sketch is actually pretty accurate to what he showed me and I haven't found anything that looked like that yet
