Structure and architecture come together in transparent glass walls, tension trusses and cable nets. Meinhardt is passionate about the evolution of advanced structures.
- Engineering concept – getting the concept right is the most fundamental and important step in the design process.
- Structural modeling – preliminary and advanced structural Finite Element Analysis (FEA) are undertaken.
- Boundary conditions – need careful consideration for pre-stressed systems.
- System detailing – details need to be both functional and elegant. Appearance is of paramount importance for these facade.
- Fabrication and assembly – including pre-tensioning and loading sequences.
