ODB + Foster Foundation Droneport
This project was designed by Norman Foster under the banner of the Norman Foster Foundation as a schematic design based on the traditional Catalan vaults. We were approached and contracted to redesign this into a buildable structure and conceive of a contemporary fabrication method for this kind of structure. In collaboration with ODB Engineering we redesigned the vault and built it as a permanent pavilion at the Arsenale of La Biennale di Venezia
