Construction Period 05/2006 - 10/2011
KÖKI TERMINAL is a
transport hub
situated at the edge of central
Budapest, a transfer point for almost 50,000 people per day, combining a
transport junction and a shopping, service and leisure facility.
The
220,000 m
2
total area comprises
shopping mall, offices, services,
leisure facilities, bus and metro terminal, parking and P+R
. These
functions resulted in huge structural diversity: complex in-situ and pre-cast
reinforced concrete structures of medium and larger spans and varying
headroom, closed pedestrian bridges, canopies and build-ups of steel.
The complex 3D architecture and structural modelling process of
Allplan
provided
effective workflow and data exchange
for all the designers,
contractors, investors and tenants.
The design process ran shortly ahead of the
strictly scheduled
construction works
, changes resulting from modifications to the
investment programme had to be implemented instantly into the final
plans. The reinforcement drawings were, nonetheless, delivered with no
errors in quantities and fit. The almost 6,800 drawings were handled in a
web-based electronic database. The biggest challenges were the design
of clear
multilevel pedestrian and vehicle flow paths
in harmony with
adjoining functions, the
structural complexity
of the building and the tight
schedule of
on-time plan deliveries
.
