Attached above is a picture of The Little Sports Palace in Rome, Italy. The design is by Pier Luigi Nervi. The roof of the sports arena utilizes a ribbed dome of reinforced concrete to create a powerful visual aesthetic. I wanted the center of my roof, surrounding the trees, to form unique patterns. However, I want to allow more light into my building, so I tried to create a roof similar to a Fehn roof. This type of roof system enabled me to create unique patterns, while also offering differing views and light patterns throughout the day. You should be able to see how the middle of my final roof design resembles this arena design by Nervi.
