180 Used software: ESA-Prima Win Introduction This eye-catching building, located on the A44 motorway and consisting of a sitting human figure, contains not only a museum, but also a congress centre and car park. In the museum, visitors go on a ‘journey through the human body’. Within the museum’s set-up, a variety of installations are used, such as lifting platforms and moving walkways. During the construction of the building, various Scia software models were used. The congress and the museum were designed using relatively simple 2D models. The human body was designed using a 3D framework. Museum The museum part consists of 8 building layers. A 7,4 m x 6,3 m grid was used, which ensured a limited span of the integrated girders, as well as sufficient flexibility to accommodate the museum’s exhibitions. The wind bracing was placed in the building’s façades instead of locating them in wind cores, to achieve further flexibility. The many floating plateaus, crevices, elevator- and lifting platform shafts, often uniquely shaped, are fitted within the main framework wherever possible, and are supported by crossmembers. This constructive design ensures the possibility of future adjustments, by closing up the crevices or creating additional ones instead.

At present the firm consists of 40 highly educated employees. IMd is completely independent and does not have any business links with manufacturers, suppliers, contractors, developers and other interested parties who could influence our impartial and independent consultancy. IMd is a member of the Dutch association of consulting engineers (ONRI) and possesses the “quality management system” certificate according to NEN-AND-ISO 9001. It is a firm where the internal communication proceeds smoothly and all employees are kept informed about the most recent developments. In the almost 50 years that our firm has existed the quality of our service has always been a key issue. The most important characteristics of this service for us are: • A good product that fits the budget of the client • Aproduct that fits the concept of the architect • Creativity and ingenuity • A flexible and service-oriented attitude Projects They vary greatly: from prestigious office complexes to pedestrian bridges, from houses to complex shopping centres, from alterations to new-housing and from simple and small to complex and large. Each project has its own charm and is a constructive challenge. The projects are carried out at the request of property developers, government organisations, foundations, architects, contractors and private parties. This diversity in clients is made possible because of the independence of the firm of consulting engineers. View IMd Raadgevende Ingenieurs The view of IMd is that the success of a project largely depends on the first stage of the design process. The cooperation between architect, client, mechanical engineer and structural engineer is decisive in order to have a fine design in complex projects. In the preliminary design various alternatives are presented for the structure of a building. The advantages and disadvantages of every constructive alternative will then be discussed in the design team. Wishes of the client and architect, requirements in the field of building physics, possibilities regarding the technical installations: they all affect the choice of an optimal structural design. In addition to the constructive design, IMd regards its role as a coordinating engineer as very important. In its existence IMd has built up a perfect reputation. In addition to the inspection of the basic principles of the drawings and calculations of suppliers of prefabricated concrete and steel constructions, the content of these elements is also assessed with great care. We ask the client to make it possible for us to carry out the consultancy work in a constructive way. In the end this will create the best result for the client.
