Downland Gridshell : Sussex Building
Gridshell, Weald & Downland Museum, Sussex, southeast England, UK
Location: Singleton, nr Chichester, West Sussex
Edward Cullinan Architects + Structural Engineer: Buro Happold

Downland Gridshell, Weald & Downland Museum, Sussex, England
1996 - 2002
Edward Cullinan Architects collaborated with the engineers Buro Happold
and Green Oak Carpentry Company to develop this innovative, award-
winning low energy structure.
The building consists of two elements: the Archive on the lower level
serves as the Museum's storage, administration centre and exhibition
hall and the Workshop above is where carpenters restore and build
the timber frames that will go into the Museum's many collected buildings.
The Archive uses heavy construction and is partly buried in the ground,
in so achieving the required steady climatic conditions for the stored
artefacts. In contrast the workshop above is enclosed in a lightweight
timber gridshell.
The project has been built into a treasured landscape within an Area
of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
