Kuidas muudab mudelprojekteerimine teraskonstruktsioonide valmistamist ja ehitamist
2.3. Case Study 1 – Seattle Central Library
Designed by Rem Koolhaas and Joshua Prince-Ramus of OMA/LMN, this building was
awarded a Platinum Award in 2005 for innovation and engineering in its "structural
solutions" by the American Council of Engineering Companies of Washington. While
most traditional towers employ a proportioned column grid, the Central Library’s
structure uses asymmetrical placement of perimeter and interior trusses, in places
cantilevering out to bear on opposing sloped steel box columns. The concrete core and the
concrete foundation walls on three sides act to tame the twist that the off-set platforms
naturally impose, while the exterior steel diamond grid system behind the glass "net"
serves as the building's seismic support system (Figure 3).
