Not as bad as I thought.

Bridge Studies

Columns at .13M, 25 / side



Columns at .13M, 12 / side (just to see)


Columns at .033M diameter, 25 / side.
Lets make this happen. Oh and this last image has a simple box profile as opposed to the other two which are tapered.
See Scott's "Steel Box Girder - More Cross Section Sketches" post.

Gallery Studies Cluster Village

Kinda looks like the city.

Basically Louvre Lens - or the galleries of Kanazawa - bunched together, and with the exhibition spaces of all the programs on the second level.

Or I guess Towada without the hallways.

What other SANAA projects can it resemble?

Though the plan needs to allow for more access from the perimeter to the center, like slimer.

Gallery Studies Hills in Water

When I was toying with that rendered model I accidentally shaved off too much at the bottom, making it look like as if the tide had come in and started filling in around the hills, or something like that.

This could be a good way to not only bring people into the center but bring people onto the roof, say at grade with street E, using street E as the tide datum. Get it? You get it.

Its not as extroverted as the splat/flower/blob profile, but the program and circulation would work the same way. Also nice that you keep a clean edge along the site bounds.

Gallery Studies Splat

First passes. Not really feeling it yet. I like the flat one better. Ha.

Kocher Viaduct

No reason, I just liked these photos.

iPad Girder Profile

Grid of Girders / Beams

Would there be any benefit - i.e. thinner - to have multiple lines of beams/girder running the length of the bridge with tranverse beams when necessary? Basically like the KAIT roof structure, or the SANAA Ferry Terminal.

And a bridge with columns!

Steel Box Girder - More Cross Section Sketches

We could do a single steel box girder like these. This provides a wider area on the bottom for the scattered columns to connect to.

Concrete Deck

We could use this super-concrete for the deck. Thoughts?

Ductal is a proprietary pre-mixed ultra-high performance concrete with high compressive strength, high tensile strength and high durability together with high fatigue performance.

The Footbridge of Peace Seoul, Korea
Span 120 m (400 ft)
Height 15 m (45 ft)
Bridge deck thickness 3 cm (1¼")
Bridge deck width 4.3 m (17 ft)
Depth of cross-section 1.1 m (4 ft)
Total Ductal mass 220 tonnes (240 tons)
Passive reinforcement 0
Pre-stressed reinforcement 12 tonnes (13.2 tons)






Sherbrooke Bridge, Quebec
Constructed with Ductal, this pedestrian bridge spans 60 m (190 ft) with a deck thickness of just 3 cm (1¼").
This project features several technological innovations:
Absence of passive reinforcements
Miniaturized pre-stressing
Diagonals in confined Ductal

Codes

This is from 'Designing for accessibilty' - UK version ( whole book: http://www.basingstoke.gov.uk/NR/rdonlyres/C53C7118-21A1-4A25-896E-D9726C992634/0/10983designforaccessibilityguideupdated.pdf ).
I didn't find any specific slovenian standards but, as in the case of the steel construction standards, i think it's safe to use european standards(members of EU are encouraged to use EU standards until they adapt their own standards to EU level).
