a_Construction Detail
05Direction
In the next phases, the project will explore the
construction details and explore possible ways of
optimizing geometric and systematic relationship between
materials and components.
Tjibaou cultural center uses a range of materials--
laminated iroko wood, concrete, coral, aluminum casting,
glass panels, tree bark, and stainless steel.
While the wood was acquired from the local site, the
stave frames were prefabricated in France. There are
several different types of pin connections that knit the
exterior and interior wooden staves by steel members.
The assembly required skilled labor and it was a delicate
procedure.
The following are quantitative factors that evaluate the
construction procedure and techniques.
i) number of components or connection types
ii) total building mass volume
iii) total assembly labor or on-site construction time
iv) total prefabrication time and shipping cost

Location: Noumea, New Caledonia

Project Highlights:
• Natural ventilation (sea winds),
• Solar shading
• Dynamic inner facade
Ten conical pavilions are arranged across the
site each a different size. Each pavilion uses a
double roof structure in tandem with a double
skin. The outer shell of wooden ribs and slats
acts as structure and solar shading. An inner
skin includes glass louvers open and close in
tandem, responding to current wind speeds.
