Structural and Enclosure Design (Stefan Schaefer)
Term Project (Team)
Spring 2014

Using the natural deflection curve of an arched structure to design its supporting structure and bracing, and the enclosure designed to expose and showcase the structure on the exterior, we proposed a grand indoor sports gym, with facilities suitable for both recreation and competitions. Daylight permeates through openings facing north, creating a usable
playing field with minimum energy consumption.
