The Zollinger Lamella roof, named after Friedrich Zollinger, a municipal building surveyor from Merseburg in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt[1] is a construction type where the roof is constructed in an arched network consisting of a single lamellae arranged in rhombic form.[1] As such it may be understood as a subset of gridshell type roof constructions.

The vault system comprises short structural members interwoven across a curved surface in a diamond pattern.[2][3] Lamella structures can be constructed of wood timber or lumber, concrete, or metal.[4] Modern versions of this type of structure include glazed metal-framed systems referred to as "transparent shells."[5]
