Thought this was interesting, it is a swimming complex in Germany that is from the early 1990's. It uses triangular texlon panels to create a transparent (but light!) cladding over a timber gridshell frame. The spans of the gridshel are amazing! The used glulams for the gridshell that are coated in polyurethane to be resistant to corrosion. The picture is linked to the project description.
I just wanted to include this picture, because we aren't the only ones! This guy won a award for his timber gridshell. He's also a civil engineering student.
Watch out for the architecture students dude!
