Abstract
dc:description.abstractThis thesis explores the possibilities of using varied long span glue-laminated arches to create a dynamic structural enclosure over an expansive open surface. It investigates using arches that increase and decrease in height and span width, while varying in their lean. When combined with a fabric enclosure, they create a roof that constantly changes. The idea is to create a world class equestrian center that is visually exciting from both the interior and exterior, rather than simply creating a large scale version of a barn.
