Car shelter settlement road, Thun
1996
The architects envisioned a wooden slab laid over two steel girders - with a span of 4.50 meters. The plate was to be no more than about 4 cm thick and covered with greenery. This was not feasible, because with a construction less than 110 mm thick, the deflection would have been too great. But such a thickness would have been neither aesthetically nor economically satisfactory.
