National Gallery, Temporary Exhibitions

Leonardo Experience

DDA Engineers were engaged by Qwery, a specialist contractor for creative environments to conduct a review for the Leonardo Experience at the National Gallery, London.

The project included a recreation of Leonardo’s workshop and a series of stacked aluminium boxes forming a leaning display, curved on plan.

DDA’s work included designing the temporary timber roof structure and walls forming the workshop, and stability analysis of the leaning box structure.

Summer in the Square

DDA Engineers were appointed by Qwerk, to provide structural engineering design to justify the proposed structures forming the Summer In The Square exhibition at the National Gallery.

The work covered four separate structures generally formed from Tri-lite quad off the shelf trusses with PVC covering or timber and plywood panelling.  DDA were responsible for designing the structures and advising on ballast requirements to resist uplift from wind loading.
