The Weald and Downland Gridshell (2002) is a building designed by Buro Happold and Edward Cullinan Architects for the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum: it was shortlisted for the Stirling Prize in 2002.
[1] The building is a structural wooden gridshell, constructed of oak sourced from Normandy, and cladded with local cedar.
[2] Before constructing the gridshell, members of Buro Happold and the Cullinan practice-built a prototype during their own time on weekends.
This was also a self-supporting gridshell, and was used as a temporary entrance canopy on the Pompidou Centre in Paris.
