Located in the woolwich district of london, magma architecture's 'olympic shooting venue' will hosted the London 2012 marksmen events for the 10, 25, and 50 meter ranges. Comprised of two partially-closed structures and one fully-enclosed centre, the temporary constructions were fully mobile, easily dismantled and reassembled when needed leaving no permanent damage to the footprint. Modular steel trusses and members frame simple cubed volumes with 18,000 square meters of pvc double-layer membrane stretched over the buildings. The colourful circular protrusions act as tension nodes to support the membrane spanning an otherwise expansive surface area. They also create entry and exit points for natural ventilation, maintain interior comfort temperatures and create entryways on the ground floor. The semi-translucent nature of the tents reduces the need for interior lighting, making the projects almost fully self sufficient.
