What is Ontario Pavilion: Pneumatic Structure Design about?
The document summarizes the design of two large pneumatic structures built for the Ontario Celebration Zone pavilion in Toronto for the Pan American Games. The larger structure was 15m high and 60m long and needed to be constructed in just one week. Form finding studies optimized the structures to resist wind and gravity loads. The structures consisted of arched pneumatic tubes quilted together with patches to behave like continuous shells. Wind loads governed the design due to the exposed coastal location.
