The pavilion, one of the most popular construction of this international event, was built almost exclusively with precast interlocking. The production process and the assembly phases were optimized to construct the wooden walls (with a height of 4–12 m) in a short time frame and with a high level of quality. Out-of-plane rocking and other aspects of structural safety were considered, to ensure sufficient stability of the walls.http://www.mdpi.com/2075-5309/6/4/43wooden structurepre-casted elementsassembling processrocking elementsMerikomiExpo 2015
