SL Rasch

SL Rasch is a German engineering and architecture firm based in Stuttgart that designs and develops special and lightweight structures. Its work spans tensile membrane architecture, convertible shading systems, steel, glass and hybrid construction, and structural engineering - combining architectural design with the engineering detail required to build the results.

The firm's project record includes some demanding large-scale work. SL Rasch contributed structural and lightweight design to the Makkah Royal Clock Tower project and the Temporary Mataf Ring Structure in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Its Hi-Tech Tent City in Mina provides accommodation structures capable of housing 2 million pilgrims. Other projects include the EXPO 2012 pavilion in Yeosu, South Korea, and membrane umbrella structures in Fort Worth, Texas.

The work sits at the intersection of architecture, construction and large-scale event and religious infrastructure, with an emphasis on constructability, detailing and execution. Projects have been delivered in Saudi Arabia, South Korea and the United States alongside the firm's base in Stuttgart.
