Dear Mario,
"The first important application of structural prefabrication
based upon my designs and built under my supervision
were the large hangars erected during 1940-41.
Economic and structural considerations suggested
prefabrication to achieve lightness to minimize materials
and to speed construction. The six hangars I built were all
destroyed during the war by heavy charges set at the foot
of the sustaining buttresses, which dropped them to the
ground" (Pier Luigi Nervi. Structures)
Happy new year!
