O’Connor Sutton Cronin was appointed as the Structural Engineers for the Built: East Pavilion (Belfast Truss). The truss was originally designed to recycle the waste of shipbuilding timber, the Belfast Truss also inspired the team to make careful use of resources.
- The roof design was created to replicate the original roof design of the city’s largest factories, which included the Belfast Ropeworks which originally faced the site.
- Traditional craft skills combined with innovative technologies enabled the creation of bespoke building components that could be rapidly assembled on-site.
- A 1:1 scale prototype was CNC produced to develop the design of each truss and joint.
- East Pavilion was the “Small Project Winner” winning design in the Belfast Flare competition run by the Royal Society of Ulster Architects.
- The Belfast Truss represents the area’s history of manufacturing ingenuity along with providing a flexible place for the community to engage and move through, meet, mend bicycles or to hold an exhibition to remind the community of its heritage.
