This paper has presented the different steps for the design of a gridshell in composites materials built for the Solidays Festival in 2011 in Paris. The first step was the optimisation of the shape in order to avoid concentrations of curvature locally. The second step showed a tool to automatically mesh a surface using the compass method. With this tool the optimum orientation of the mesh is studied. The last step showed the details of the structural analysis of the gridshell. This construction demonstrated the technical feasibility and also the economical feasibility of the gridshell in composites materials.
