Need a Complex Roof? Game, Zed and Match Metsec
Published on: Tuesday, August 18th, 2009
A roof doesn’t get much more complex than that created for Wimbledon’s Centre Court. The design, from architects HOK, includes a retractable centre portion with an intricate and unusual fixed perimeter.
The retractable part of the roof comprises a series of steel trusses with fabric infill panels running on bogies. The fixed perimeter has a grid of purlins to support the soffit with the upper purlins supporting the roof sheeting. It provides a permanent covering for the terraces as well as housing the mechanical and electrical plant for the retractable roof.
