odate dome- jukai stadium The Odate Dome is domed stadium with a wooden roof construction, which is one of the largest in the world. Timber from 25,000 Akita Cypress trees aged over 60 years were used to assemble the wooden roof. A special double Teflon-coated membrane structure has been used to cover the roof, which allows enough natural light to enter so that no lighting is necessary during the day time. The design reflects the fact that the Dome is located in Snow Country: the buildup of snow on the roof is ingeniously avoided by the circulation of warm air between the Teflon-coated membranes to shake off snow. The Odate Dome was created to suit local climatic conditions and geographical features. |
