The Ephemeral Cathedral of Créteil (Paris, France) is a gridshell structure made of composite materials. Built in 2013, this dome of 350m2 is a temporary church meant to gather the parishioners during the two-year renovation of their permanent cathedral.
This large-scale prototype represents a first in the building industry, which still shows excessive apprehension for the use of non-traditional materials such as composites, especially when it comes to structural applications.
Based on a previous successful experience, the gridshell was prefabricated and erected by the parishioners themselves.
Design: T/E/S/S & Laboratory Navier
