"The grass is sacred," says Populous principal Dale Jennins of the courts at London's All England Lawn Tennis Club. So when Jennins' team was designing a retractable roof for the Centre Court, the main stage of the Wimbledon tennis championship, the most important thing to determine was how not to block the sunlight that feeds the world's most visible patch of grass. The result is a 65-by-75-meter (roughly 213-by-246-foot) hydraulically operated structure of translucent fabric supported by steel trusses. The new roof unfolds across the open stadium should the weather take a turn for the worse during a match.
