DAV - STRUCTURE Benefits StakeholdersQualitativeQuantitative Architects + Engineers │Huge spans of Interior Spaces unobstructed by columns │Innovative technology of Gerberettes │Flexibility of Design │Less construction time due to pre fabrication │Increased usable floor space. │Gerberettes eliminated eccentric loads on columns Client – Ministry of Culture │Reduced construction materials and their costs compared to concrete construction Organizations running Museum, Library, IRCM, etc. │Incorporate variety of changes in the evolving exhibit requirements │Reduced Churn and Renovation Costs City / Region - - Media │Structural Design created a huge buzz. │Various Documentaries - Society + Culture --

DAV - STRUCTURE Costs StakeholdersQualitativeQuantitative Architects + Engineers │Initial bad reputation for the industrial design, esp. during the construction phases │Special techniques required to test the unconventional sizes of Gerberettes │Cost of technology Client – Ministry of Culture │Skilled labour and engineers│Manufacture and Transportation costs Organizations running Museum, Library, IRCM, etc. │Redesign interior spaces for the Museum according to physical museology requirements. │Cost of Interior Design City / Region │Exposed Structures didn’t merge in with the Urban Fabric - Media -- Society + Culture │Initially took it as an insult to the art and culture of France -
