Roof Structure, 2017, - United States
The San Diego Convention Center is located in the Marina district of downtown San Diego where it provides 57,200m2 of exhibit area, 72 meeting rooms and a capacity of 125,000 people. The architectural centrepiece of the Convention Center is the roof of Sails Pavilion that mirrors the nearby marina for which Teufelberger-Redaelli contributed to its construction.
The Sails Pavilion is a 8,400m2 exhibit and special event area; it can accommodate a multitude of events from trade shows, food and beverage functions to new product introductions and concerts. The renovation of Sails Pavilion has included a complete replacement of the roof, that includes Teflon-coated fiberglass “sails” supported by steel cables. Thanks to 136 cable assemblies which make up the new complex cable net structure supplied by Teufelberger-Redaelli. This impressive roof structure is brought to life at night time with an incredible LED colored light display.
