During this presentation, insights will be shared on how the team of specialists translated complex geometry into reality by means of computational design tools, in particular with regards to the project’s steel “drape” system. The discussion will also demonstrate how the project overcame the complex engineering challenge of wind interacting with the project’s partially glazed hanging canopy.
