VIDY-LAUSANNE THEATRE

Country: Switzerland

 Introduction
A Modular and Complementary Theater Hall

Vidy theater is defined as an open space for everybody and dedicated to contemporary creation, a meeting place between art
and peoples.

The non–elevated wooden stage floor, as well as a large stage opening (from 14 to 19 m), also offers a stage/hall rapport complementary to the
other 3 theatre halls, both in terms of gauge and size and type of plateau, between the Charles Apothéloz Hall (386 seats, plateau of 15 x 10 m)
and René Gonzales Halls (100 seats, 10 x 14 m) and The Gateway (100 seats, 9 x 8 m).

Material and Building Techniques

1. Material : 3. Building Techniques :

45 mm Timber wood Panels (Dovetail Wood-Wood Joints) • The double-ply assembly technique developed for this building uses folded panels
that are both a load-bearing structure and cladding.
2. Structural Specification : • The walls and eleven arches of the Pavilion roof are fully designed in wood
panels and assembled without metal elements.
Length:: 28.70 Meters
Length
• dovetail wood-wood joints, the precise and specific cutting of which was made
Breadth:: 20.97 Meters
Breadth possible by the development of automated joinery
Height:: 10.45 Meters
Height
• Pavilion has led to the development of a supporting structure that can stretch
over a distance of 16 to 20 m without pillars and with a panel thickness of
3.Type : only 45 mm.
Simple 4 Fold frame Tunnel • The distance between the two layers is 300 mm from the top of the outer
panel and to the bottom of the inner panel.

In steps 1 and 2,
2 a segment is connected to an adjacent segment,
the ports are perpendicular to the edge.

In steps 3 and 4, the tenons are rotated to allow a parallel slide-in.

Step 5 does not take place in

the prefabrication, but on the construction site
