Schalelementen
Schalelementen are architectural components that form the outer shell of a building. They are typically load-bearing and are responsible for supporting the roof and resisting external forces such as wind and seismic loads. The term "Schalelementen" is German and translates to "shell elements."
These elements are often curved or domed in shape, which allows them to distribute forces efficiently over
The design and construction of Schalelementen require careful consideration of material properties, geometry, and load-bearing capacity.
Schalelementen offer aesthetic advantages due to their flowing lines and spacious interiors. They are found in
