The document discusses lightweight prefabricated structures, specifically laminar wood structures designed by Shigeru Ban and Cecil Balmond. It describes laminar or membrane structures, where thin layers form a grid-like lattice. It provides two examples of these types of structures: the Centre Pompidou Metz, designed by Shigeru Ban and Cecil Balmond of Ove Arup & Partners, and a marquee in St. Louis also designed by Ban and Balmond of Ove Arup & Partners.
