Architectural and structural design for the new DICEA Laboratories at the University of Florence features a laminated wood arched roof. This roof covers a 47-meter span for a large maritime engineering simulation tank in block B. The finite element analysis highlights the unique properties of wood, focusing on its hygroscopic and viscous behaviors and joint deformability.
