FREE FORM DESIGN GAINS MORE INFLUENCE IN ARCHITECTURE

The most spectacular project in the segment of so called free form design is certainly the clubhouse of the Heasley Nine Bridges Golf Resort in South Korea:
The building was designed by the Japanese architect Shigeru Ban in co-operation with Kevin S. Yoon from KACI international and completed in spring 2009.
The project was awarded the gold medal for sustainable architecture and also first rated by the world architecture community.

Hasley Nine Bridges - South Korea

The roof structure of the clubhouse in Yeoju covers an area of just over 2’500 square meters.It consists of 32 9×9 meters wide elements, which are supported on 21 columns.

Although there are only five different types of elements in this design we, the Blumer-Lehmann AG, prefabricated 3.500 components with nearly 500 different shapes in Switzerland and sent them to South Korea to be erected.

Blumer Lehmann AG is a timber company, which is very intensively engaged in the material “wood”. The fascination with this material has accompanied us for more than 135 years. Design, planning, production, supply, installation, service and maintenance are the core competences we cover in our projects.

We are in a commanding position on the planning and implementation of individual and ambitious buildings and timber structures in Switzerland and around the world. Regardless if it deals with the implementation of static design or architecturally complex geometric objects and ideas; our employees always look forward to these challenges.

In the field of so-called “free-form design”, we can assist our customers in the very early stage of planning due to our ability to make geometrically complex structures " physically graspable" with the help of parameterized CAD models.

The construction of special structures at home and abroad is our newest and most innovative market segment. Through it, our label “Lehmann Timber Construction” has achieved growing recognition.
