The new theatre in Abano Terme<\/a> (PD) stands out as a work designed with a light and dynamic roof that interacts with the urban context while ensuring solidity and functionality.<\/p>\n

The design challenge focused on defining a spatial lattice structure with triangular meshes<\/strong>, guided by an irregularly shaped three-dimensional surface with discontinuities.<\/p>\n

This was an ambitious goal, requiring the harmonisation of aesthetics<\/strong>, construction constraints and structural efficiency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To address this, a parametric design<\/strong> approach was adopted, capable of transforming geometric complexity into a feasible system, optimised and developed through an integrated process involving design, engineering and production. The architectural concept was defined in collaboration with the Municipality of Abano Terme (PD), while the definition of the guide shape and the lattice structure was developed internally and refined to ensure full integration with the systems supplied by Canobbio<\/em> for the fabric and by MERO<\/em> for the metal structure.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a closer look at the application of parametric design and its advantages<\/strong> in this innovative project.<\/p>\n

The logic of parametric design<\/h2>\n

The starting point was the choice of a spatial lattice structure composed of two overlapping surfaces with triangular meshes connected by diagonal elements.<\/p>\n

This solution proved to be the most suitable for ensuring strength, feasibility and cost control, given the formal complexity of the roof.<\/p>\n

The modelling process<\/strong> was developed in several stages:<\/p>\n
